On the MBC liberal arts program 'Architecture-Space Traveler' (directed by So Hyung-joon Cho, Sung Seung-min/writer Nam Soo-hee/hereinafter 'Architecture with a Reason', Jeon Hyun-moo, Koyote, Backga, Oh My Girl Mimi went on a meaningful architectural trip to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japan's colonial rule. Japanese colonial era The reasonable architectural story of Bukchon Hanok Village, which was protected from Japan, impressed me deeply.
Jeon Hyun-moo, who appeared wearing hanbok and gat, served as a hanok guide and told the history of Bukchon Hanok Village, which is now famous as a tourist complex. Everyone was surprised that Bukchon Hanok Village was created by Jeong Se-kwon, a Japanese colonial era 'Architecture King'. Jeon Hyun-moo conveyed Jeong Se-kwon's words, "'Don't let the Japanese put their feet on the ground of Jongro', and introduced his wise way of protecting the Korean residence by building hanoks that the Japanese are not familiar with in Bukchon.
Jeong Se-kwon developed a modern-style urban hanok so that as many Koreans as possible could live in Bukchon, and created a system to sell it on a large scale by dividing it into small acreages. For those who do not have money to buy a house, they have also come up with a plan to live on an monthly basis. Hong Jin-kyung was surprised by Jeong Se-kwon's idea at the time, saying, `He built a system up to payment method.' In addition, the achievements of Jeong Se-kwon, who worked hard on the independence movement, such as sponsoring the Joseon C&T Promotion Association and the Joseon Language Association, added surprise.
Jeon Hyun-moo, Baekga, and Mimi visited a space where the characteristics of urban hanok built by Jeong Se-kwon in the 1920s were preserved. In the hanok, which was unveiled for the first time in broadcasting, the three enjoyed a special space trip, discovering traces of Jeong Se-kwon's agony. Mimi says, "I want to live here", and he was fascinated by urban hanok, which is different from traditional hanok.
The movie 'Baekinje House', which became famous as Jeon Ji-hyun's house in the movie 'Assassination', attracted attention on a grand scale of 744 pyeong of land. Jeon Hyun-moo is a jaw-dropping place. Your chin may fall out", he introduced, and Backga and Mimi "It's like a beehive.", "I smell the rich" exclaimed. This house was built by pro-Japanese group Han Sang-ryong, but it became the house of Baek In-je, the best surgeon and independence activist at the time. The characteristics of modern hanok, which follow the traditional framework but add convenience to life, drew attention.
The three people who moved to the separate house admired the Bukchon view that spread out over the window. The background was "There was a lot of space even though I went", and architect Yoo Hyun-jun threw his tongue out. `The very end of the line is the most important place. 'There are many layers in the space=It is a symbol of wealth. Jeon Hyun-moo recalled his days as an announcer who made a big mistake and was called to the president's office, adding laughter by comparing "The way to the president's office was Guman-ri." Yoo Hyun-jun has the effect of possessing as visually as a viewing field of view of the 「Baekinje House" with Bukchon view. You can use a large space as a permanent watch, so the value of the property goes up", and similarly explained why the Han River view is expensive.
Then 'Tminnam' Jeon Hyun-moo took Mimi to 'Hip Hanok' in Bukchon. It was a collaborated cosmetics showroom of hanok and yangok in the 1930s and 1960s. Renovating the hanok, which is a 'traditional living space', into a 'consumption space', it was also selected as the best hanok in Seoul in 2022. Jeon Hyunmoo says, "I'm really touched here.", and introduced the Jungjeong space, which harmoniously connects hanok and yangok. The architect's intention to leave traces without removing the shaft created a special sensibility, saying, "I hope the time of the two buildings will be remembered." An architectural trip that newly discovered the charm of our home hanok, which expands its use with the times, left a deep lingering impression.
Meanwhile, MBC 'The Reasoned Architecture-Space Traveler', which airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m., is a new concept architectural talk show that tells stories that cross various fields such as history, culture, economy, art, and science through architecture. Star architect Yoo Hyun-joon and Jeon Hyun-moo, Hong Jin-kyung and Park Sun-young will appear.
