& Premium– Special Edition: Seoul, South Korea—Even When Traveling Solo

&Premium is a Japanese lifestyle magazine about “a better life”, covering travel, interiors, food, culture, books and everyday living with a calm, highly curated editorial approach.

(JAPANESE LANGUAGE ONLY)

This special edition, “Seoul, South Korea — Even When Traveling Solo”, is dedicated to experiencing Seoul at your own pace. It moves through neighbourhoods including Seongbuk-dong, Yeonhui-dong, Mangwon-dong and Hannam-dong, combining places to walk, eat, shop and spend time alone.

The issue looks at everyday objects and local markets, traditional tea and tteok, independent bookstores and long-established restaurants, as well as a dedicated guide to good places for solo dining. Seven Seoul regulars also share their own two-day itineraries through the city.

Further stories explore Seoul through the photographs of Han Youngsoo, traditional hanok houses and places connected to Korean heritage, plus a selection of Korean dramas for film lovers. Rather than functioning as a conventional city guide, the edition focuses on atmosphere, neighbourhood character and ways of travelling comfortably on your own.
