Recently, I had the opportunity to relive the memories of my trip to Korea, this time in Paris. Thanks to the newly opened 'Korea House' in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, I could immerse myself in Korean culture once again. The thought of enjoying Korean food, traditional culture, and K-pop without having to travel all the way to Korea was incredibly exciting.
