Le lycée Jungang, situé à Jong-ro (près de Samcheongdong-gil), a été construit pour éduquer le peuple au coeur de la crise nationale qui sévissait au début du XXème siècle. Le bâtiment principal de l’école a été construit en 1937 après qu’un incendie ait détruit la bâtisse de deux étages d’origine en 1934. L’architecture gothique moderne de ce bâtiment est particulièrement significative pour les Coréens, car celui-ci a été conçu par un architecte coréen durant l’époque de la colonisation japonaise. Park Dong Jin, qui a conçu ce bâtiment, est l’un des premiers architectes coréens modernes, et a dessiné les plans du bâtiment principal et de la bibliothèque de l’université Korea, ainsi que l’immeuble du journal Chosunilbo. Le lycée Jungang a été désigné site historique n° 281. De nombreux leaders de la nation ont été éduqués derrière les murs de ce bâtiment gothique durant la période sombre où la Corée a tenté d’échapper au joug colonial.
Le bâtiment principal, situé en face de la porte principal, est une bâtisse en granit de deux étages en forme de H, conçu dans le style gothique, avec une tour de quatre étages au centre.

“The Place Seoul” is located in a small alley in Gyedong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul. It is a guesthouse made by remodeling an 80-year-old traditional Korean house. The ondol room furnished with traditional beddings is popular not only among foreigners but also among Koreans due to its special ambience. The ceiling of the room dates back to 80 years ago. The rafter put on the roof at the time of construction of the house shows the antiqueness of the house. The toenmaru (a narrow wooden porch running along the outside of a room) that comes alive with the frequent coming and going of people adds to the ambience of the traditional Korean house, with the Sansuyu (corni) tree and vegetable garden beside the Korean-style house creating a leisurely atmosphere.
