If you truly want to feel Korean culture, you’ve got to experience a local festival. I spent the weekend at Anseong Baudeogi Festival, chasing the rhythm of the Buk in vibrant Pungmul vibes, watching Jultagi tightrope walkers defy gravity, and admiring the graceful Sangmo dances with their ribbon hats. I tasted 메밀전병, tried on hanbok for fun (not worn for long), picked up handmade Najeonchilgi and Hanji crafts, and soaked in the peaceful Korean countryside vibes. Moments like these reveal the heart of Korea.
