There are two fascinating people in Seochon. They describe themselves as 'lazy' or 'annoying', but they are the "Jeong & Oh" couple, who live as architects during the day and owners of "@so.house.official" in the evening. Their final goal is to become hallyang(live like a player).

I decided to listen to them rather than asking numerous questions. They shared the story about five years living in Seochon and not in Seochon.

Oh's Story: Travel as if I’m living here.

I used to live a year in England, and another year in Germany. One day in 2015, when "Living for a month" was popular, we went on our way to find our own daily life for a little longer than a month. When I first arrived in England, I was overwhelmed with some sort of obsession to spend some "special time" here before I go back to Korea. I had to go somewhere without having a rest, I tried to keep traveling somewhere. It was like a fighter shouting, "Traveling 8 nights and 10 days in 5 Western European countries, would you like to spend your summer vacation in vain?" Of course, the schedule was so tight and I was scolded by Jung (40 years old, Oh's partner) for not having enough time in my heart.

If you hang around Richmond Park, you'll meet them. It’s a little bit scary.

After returning to Korea, what often comes to mind is not a unique experience that cannot happen in Korea, such as meeting a red-colored group of deer in the sunset in the middle of the vast Richmond Park or enjoying Anselm Kiefer 's new work alone in a small gallery.

Everyone except TONY, who is British, was in the same language as us. And the girl, I always miss her.

They were small but in a way nothing special, such as dining with a Thai friend who made food, drinking cool beer every day in a grass-filled park, or realizing that the place was transformed into a Christmas market in winter.

Nevertheless, the reason why they became special is that the new place added a spoonful of excitement to ordinary daily life.

The quiet square turns into a magical beautiful Christmas market in winter. The reason I often went for a walk, even though it took quite a long time, was to capture this leisure time in my eyes.

Jung’s story: Live as if I’m traveling.

It's already been 3 years since I came back to Seoul. I've been moved from place to place every one or two years since I was in college, and somehow I am staying in an unfamiliar place called Seochon for the longest time and spending my ordinary life.

She stole my attention for a while, she is running through alleys these days.

Thanks to living in a small hanok in Seochon, where no tall buildings are covering the sky, we received our small sky and small yard as a gift. Even if you don't struggle, you always stare blankly at the sky and enjoy the sound of the wind. Often, small birds fly in and walk through the yard. This house makes people lazy and enjoys leisure. Maybe the place gave me the composure, Oh (Forever 20, Jung's friend, too many dreams) doesn't blame my laziness. Perhaps, we enjoy leisure together.
