Hey, Fanwork! ๐ Howโs everyone doing today?!
Lately, Iโve been really into writing analog letters! ๐ฌ Do you all like writing letters too? If so, I have a fun place related to letters that Iโd love to recommend! โจ
@LETTERS
LETTERS
2, Seongsan-ro 20-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul (right next to Seodaemun Post Office)
The cafรฉ LETTERS, located right in front of the Seodaemun Post Office, is a little different from other cafes! โจ Nowadays, itโs so easy to send feelings online, but here, you can express your thoughts through handwritten letters! Each seat has a pen for writing, and you can purchase your favorite stationery or postcards to freely create your messages! ๐
Another special feature of this place is that you can send letters according to your chosen month! If you want to write a letter to your future self, you can select a month from the 12 boxes at the counter and drop your letter inside. Theyโll send it out on the 1st of each month! ๐
While waiting for your coffee to arrive, take your time choosing your favorite stationery or postcard, and pour your heart into it with a pen you love. The subtle aroma of coffee wafting through the air will make it a perfect moment! โ๏ธ๐
@Geulwoll
Geulwoll Letter Room
10, Yeonmu-jang 17-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul (LCDC SEOUL, Room 302)
This place, ๊ธ์ (Geulwoll), sells stationery and writing supplies, but itโs not just an ordinary shop! ๐๏ธโจ What makes it special is its pen pal service. Pen pals are about making friends through exchanging letters, and here, you can anonymously share your worries or thoughts that you might not be able to tell anyone else. ๐
You write your letter and drop it into the letterbox, and then, an anonymous someone will read your story and send you a warm reply! Itโs a wonderful way to share your thoughts that youโve kept to yourself, creating a more genuine conversation. ๐ค
Not only that, but you can also write a “Christmas letter๐” to yourself in celebration of the holiday season, and thereโs even an online pen pal service for exchanging letters digitally! With various ways to write and share letters, youโll experience a touching moment like never before. If you want to express your feelings and create special memories, make sure to give it a try! ๐โ๏ธ
@POSET
POSET
18, Jeongga-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul (3rd Floor, Room 305, ํฌ์ )
Besides letters, there are many ways to send your heartfelt messages! Let me introduce you to a special place filled with postcards! ๐ฌ
This place feels like a library where books have transformed into postcards, with a variety of postcards filling the shelves. The straight shelves are packed with postcards of different sizes, colors, and designs each telling a unique story. Just looking at them alone will feel so healing! ๐
Not only postcards, but there are also various stationery items like letter paper and notepads, making it a perfect space focused on “recording” your thoughts! So, whether you want to document your daily life or express your feelings in writing, this is the ideal spot. If you enjoy organizing your thoughts through your own diary or letters, youโre sure to have a delightful time here! ๐ซง
If you want to leave a precious message with a short note, definitely stop by! Creating your own records among the charming postcards will be a special memory! ๐
@Korea Stamp Museum
Korea Stamp Museum
70, Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul (B2, Stamp Museum)
This unique space is dedicated to everything about the stamps we attach to our letters! ๐ฎโจFrom the worldโs first stamp to the history of South Korean stamps, you can see various designs and shapes, along with the stories they hold, all in one glance. Each stamp carries the passage of time, making it a meaningful place where you can truly appreciate the significance and value of stamps!
In addition, there are various mailboxes here that offer fun experiences! For example, thereโs a โWarm Mailboxโ where you can write your worries in a letter, and an anonymous someone will listen to your concerns. Thereโs also a โSlow Mailboxโ that delivers your letter after 6 months or a year! โณ And during the Christmas season, you can write to Santa Claus and receive a reply from the โSanta Post Office,โ creating unforgettable memories for both kids and adults! ๐
๐
This place is great for families or friends, as everyone can enjoy new experiences together! If you want to explore the precious stories behind letters, stamps, and mailboxes, make sure to visit!
