Introduction

* Rapper, singer Wonstein
With a husky yet distinctive voice, a soulful delivery, and the ability to spit bars like no other, Wonstein is a well-rounded musician. Though he began his career as a rapper, his vocals have led him to branch out, giving him accolades from both the critics and the public. Wonstein hails from Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do. Cheongju still holds a special place in this hometown boy’s heart, as evident in his traveling to his hometown for a special performance as a part of a regional event. Let’s hear his insider tips on how to get the most out of Cheongju.
“I really want to recommend my hometown, Cheongju. My mother still runs a beauty salon there, so it is a place that is really close to my heart. Rather than going for flashy landmarks or activities, I recommend going for a slow walk and enjoying the local lifestyle in Cheongju. Because all the tourist sites like museums, galleries, and Suamgol Café Street are located close to one another, Cheongju is ideal for those who like to take things slow in their travels.”
