Guided Tour to the Seodaemun Prison History Hall
To commemorate the August 15th National Independence Day, the Seorae Global Village Center will be joining a guided tour to the Seodaemun Prison History Hall. Established by the Japanese imperialists in 1908, Seodaemun Prison long symbolized the history of oppression and control under Japanese colonial rule and the post-independence dictatorships. Seodaemun Prison Hall has turned this former prison into a place where visitors can experience history and learn the value of freedom and peace. |

The plotters by Kim Un-Su
Behind every assassination, there is an anonymous mastermind--a plotter--working in the shadows. Plotters quietly dictate the moves of the city's most dangerous criminals, but their existence is little more than legend. Just who are the plotters? And more important, what do they want?
Crackling with action and filled with unforgettable characters, “The Plotters” is a deeply entertaining thriller that soars with the soul, wit, and lyricism of real literary craft.

The Seorae Global Village Center is part of a network of information and welcome centers for foreigners located in neighborhoods across Seoul where many foreign residents tend to reside. The opening of these centers was an initiative of the city of Seoul in 2008 with the mission to provide practical information about living in Korea so that foreign residents find the day-to-day management easy. Our primary role is to answer questions that pertain to daily life and to help manage situations where the language barrier becomes an issue.
You will find at the center Korean language programs as well as other cultural and artistic lessons to learn and appreciate the multiple facts of the Korean culture. We hope that this will help you create new encounters and discoveries.
