Située près du palais Gyeongbokgung, Dialogue in the Dark – Bukchon est une exposition participative sensorielle unique qui se déroule dans l’obscurité totale pendant 100 minutes. Accompagnés par un·e Roadmaster, les participants explorent différents environnements uniquement à travers les sens du toucher, de l’ouïe, de l’odorat et du goût.
Créée en Allemagne en 1988, cette exposition internationale a été présentée dans plus de 161 villes à travers le monde, touchant plus de 12 millions de visiteurs en Europe, en Asie et en Amérique.
Les visiteurs doivent arriver 15 minutes avant l’heure de réservation pour retirer leurs billets, déposer leurs affaires personnelles et se préparer à l’expérience. L’entrée se fait à l’heure exacte via un ascenseur menant progressivement vers une obscurité complète. Pendant 100 minutes, aucune sortie n’est possible ; il est donc essentiel d’utiliser les toilettes à l’avance.
L’exposition est située à 700 m de la sortie 2 de la station de métro Anguk (ligne 3). Le quartier de Bukchon et ses environs, proches du palais Gyeongbokgung, offrent également de nombreux cafés et restaurants à découvrir avant ou après l’expérience.

An elderly lady with fine wrinkles is still in charge of creating the captivating taste of jokbal (steamed pork hock). Originally, the restaurant did not have a name, but customers referred to it as the “Fat Grandma’s Place.” Sure enough, as you enter the restaurant, you will notice a plump, elderly lady with silver hair sitting at the counter. The place is well known for jokbal with an exquisite combination of rich meat and soft fat. Three or four ingredients, including ginger, are added to the simmering broth to eliminate the strong meat smell. When you order a small serving, you are served radish “water” kimchi as well as two small bindaetteok free. You can order additional bindaetteok too, three for 5,000 won. When you order a large serving, you are served four free bindaetteok. Many customers order jaengbanguksu (spicy buckwheat noodles), which goes perfectly with jokbal.

Following his mother’s footsteps, the son of the previous owner is now managing the family business. Opened during the early years of Jokbal Street, the delicious meat at this restaurant is fondly remembered by customers. While the meat itself has almost no fat, the fat portion is extremely soft and savory. This restaurant is also different from the others in that it provides kongnamul-guk (bean sprout soup) with the jokbal (steamed pork hock). Pyeongyang-style naengmyeon (cold noodles) and tteok-mandu-guk (rice cake-dumpling soup) are also delicious. Pyeongyang naengmyeon is cooked to suit South Korean tastebuds. Besides, the noodles and dumplings are hand-made. Despite the restaurants long history, the building of the restaurant is clean and well-maintained as it was being rebuilt after a fire in the 1980s. There are plenty of tables on the first and second floors to accommodate customers, and the third floor is reserved for large groups. Especially noticeable is the clean appearance both inside and out, despite the restaurant’s long history; probably because the building was rebuilt after a fire in the 1980s. Plenty of tables on the first and second floors accommodate customers, and the third floor is reserved for large groups.
