A trip to Gongju, where time flies amidst its abundant delights.
The term gatsaeng combines the words “god” pronounced in Korean and saeng (life) to form a modern Korean expression for “a diligent and exemplary life.” It has gained popularity among millennials and Gen Z who seek fulfilling travel experiences encompassing arts, attractions, and activities. Here, we present a “gatsaeng tour” in Gongju, hosted by KTO for Korean and Japanese college travel reporters. Gongju thrives with the rich heritage of Baekje’s culture. This KTO-curated tour features the UNESCO-listed Tomb of King Muryeong, the immersive Baekje Cultural Sensory Experience Center, and a cozy independent bookstore. The richness of these experiences might make you wish the tour were longer.-
