It was also called Yangbanchon and Yangban Village because most of the luxury houses have been occupied by royalty, aristocrats and bureaucrats since the Joseon Dynasty, meaning hanokdongne, located north of Seoul. Hanok is at the Japanese occupation some addition and Renovation and preservation district of Kahoe - dong in 1992 from traditional Korean-style house In addition, general building also houses. In particular, Wonsudong lost its former landscape as it was quickly built by merchants.
The remaining hanoks are not hanoks that were used by the great masters of the Joseon Dynasty, but hanoks that were made during the Japanese colonial era.
It is a hanokdae complex created by Jeong Se-kwon, the first real estate developer in South Korea to be called a developer. Jeong Se-kwon, a native of Goseong, South Gyeongsang Province, started building projects after coming to Seoul in 1919.
At that time, Seoul (Kyungseong) was rapidly expanding. The influx of poor farmers from rural areas also surged and the migration of Japanese to Seoul also surged. The increase in population caused a housing shortage. At that time, the Japanese people lived mainly in the south of Cheonggyecheon, but as the number of Japanese increased, the Japanese wanted to expand to the north of Cheonggyecheon, while the Governor-General led the expansion of the Japanese-Japanese residence north of Cheonggyecheon by putting government agencies first in the national public land and then advancing the Japanese people.
At that time, there were many houses in Bukchon that were put forward by powerful people who had become difficult due to the Japanese invasion. Jeong Se-kwon entered the private housing construction business with Korean builders in an effort to protect the territory of Koreans. The power prevented the government from securing Korean residential areas and losing its own way by dividing large-scale land or housing lots owned by aristocrats and supplying a large number of small-scale hanok houses.
The hanok, which was supplied to these hanok collective districts, was an urban hanok that reflected modern conveniences and lifestyle, such as concentrating the structure of traditional hanok inside the pavilion and improving the kitchen and bathroom with a new style.
Small urban hanoks sold like hot cakes. Relatively low housing prices played a role. Geonyang Corp., a company of Jeong Se-kwon, supplied an average of 300 hanok houses a year, with the annual housing supply of Hanseong (Seoul) reaching around 1,700 units in the 1920s, while Jeong Se-kwon was responsible for 20 percent of them. He was called the "Architecture King" of Kyungsung. It is no exaggeration to say that most of the hanok houses in Bukchon are the works of Jeong Se-gwon.
Jeong Se-kwon became a real estate tycoon in less than a decade due to the development of a hanok complex in Gyeongseong. However, he was not obsessed with making money. He took an active part in the national movement. When the Joseon-Susan Promotion Movement took place in 1923, Jeong Se-kwon led the establishment of the Gyeongseong Branch. He also participated in the New Conference Movement, a coalition of left- and right-wing independent clouds, and provided physical support as he was in charge of finance. He was also the biggest supporter of the Joseon Language Society. In 1942, he was arrested and tortured for his work at a Korean language company. After liberation, he continued to sponsor the Joseon Language Society's project to compile Korean dictionaries.
Most of the hanok houses are roofed with octagonal roofs, and most of the structures are urban hanoks with a floor plan of 'ᄃ' or 'ᄆ.' For this reason, unlike traditional Korean houses, where the yard is exposed from the outside, the house is blocked by high gates and rooms on the street, and the house is completely invisible. This structure is common in the 2000s when hanoks were not remodeled, but recently built hanoks have been largely removed from the typical urban hanok in the past, as a result of encouraging hanok to beacons. However, the fence is still high, and although there is a crime risk, it cannot be tolerated unless it is raised high because of tourists.
Bukchon is a residential area and has been a tourist attraction for only 10 years. For tourists, however, it’s just a tourist attraction. In this regard, the same goes for other tourist-oriented areas at home and abroad. Low-cost Chinese travel agencies, which usually make hit-and-run trips to Dongdaemun and duty-free shops, are using Bukchon, which is free of charge, to lower costs. When you go there, foreigners who wear Hanbok and take pictures more often than residents do. This causes a number of friction Even though it is clearly a road, residents' vehicles have become difficult to get through due to tourists, and some tourists are complaining about why cars go to places like this. In the case of noise problem, many complaints have been filed, so the city has posted signs asking for a silent tour, but the reality is that there is true.
In addition, the dumping of garbage is very serious, and because of the dumping of waste, it has not improved even though the calcium chloride container for snow removal has been removed, signs have been put up here and there, and mobile garbage can has been installed. Such problems are the same for Seochon, which has emerged in 2014, but the district and city governments have left their hands behind.
