Seoul Selection means "Select Korean Goods Available in Seoul." In this age of information overload and mass marketing, we want to play the part of a dependable guide. We aim to help those looking for a taste of Korean culture to easily find quality samples. Whereas "collection" often refers to an exclusive assemblage of art or coveted items, "selection" lets one choose. In that sense, we give our customers access to affordable and appealing cultural works worthy of their attention. That is our basic philosophy.
The Seoul Selection store offers books about Korean art, literature, architecture, religion, nd other topics translated into English, German, French, Japanese and Chinese. We also carry Korean films on DVD with English, Japanese and Chinese subtitles. Music lovers will find traditional and contemporary Korean music on CD, while children can explore Korean folk tales and other stories. Some gift and art items are also available for purchase.
Meanwhile, SEOUL is a monthly, English language magazine that provides a wealth of information for foreigners in Seoul. With in-depth reporting on culture and living, foreigners' perspectives on living in Korea, overview of Seoul events and cultural news, SEOUL magazine is an indispensable resource for those who want an insider's viewpoint of Seoul life. SEOUL magazine is jointly published by Seoul Selection and the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
