 Hello, this is Jiro 🙂 Starting this month, we’re excited to introduce Jiro Letter , a monthly magazine that explores local places and the stories behind them. Each issue is published in Korean, English, and Japanese , so more readers can connect with local communities.

Inside, you’ll find stories about Geobuknori (Turtle Play) , a traditional folk ritual performed during the Seolseong Cultural Festival, along with insights into the factors behind Eumseong’s recent population growth , and a curated list of local eateries loved by longtime residents . Come take a closer look at Eumseong right now.
