You slide into a private van as Seoul wakes — morning light on Gwanghwamun Gate, the Han River threading the city like a bold stitch. The driver turns on the meter for a ten-hour window where you call the shots: a slow walk through Bukchon’s narrow hanok alleys, a photo stop at a K‑pop filming backdrop in Gangnam, and a pause for tea in a restored hanok courtyard.
