- This is a record of memories and changes about the old building 'Choi's Pediatrics Clinic' at Gaeseong-dong 109 in the heart of Seoul.
- Since it was transformed into a clothing store in the fall of 2019, it has undergone changes as 'Beurre Beurre', the chef's project, and Park Yong-in's project of Urban Zakapa has been opened.
- It is a building that reminds me of my childhood memories of my maternal family, but it expresses regret by talking about the difficulty of maintaining old buildings.
I was born in Seoul and have lived here ever since.
I enjoy walking around downtown Seoul and exploring old buildings.
I tell stories centered around architecture.
All photos are taken by me.
01 Choi-Soa Clinic
Gye-dong 109
28 Bukchon-ro 4-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
The Hyundai Building in Gye-dong, where my father used to work. If you walk a little further back, you'll find my favorite old building, [Choi-Soa Clinic].
I loved the old sign, but it disappeared one day. I think it was removed when the clinic closed down. I wonder where it is now?
In the fall of 2019, it suddenly became a clothing store, and there were construction materials and a red Pony in the small lot next to the building. I was so excited to see the Pony, as it was a car I had bought when it was first released.
In 2020, there was a new project by a famous chef (there was a small sign that said Gye-dong 1963),
and recently, Beur Beur, created by Park Yong-in of Urban Zakapa, has opened there.

Inside the building during filming in 2019. The interior stairs were already gone, but I had hoped they would be preserved as long as possible. However, it seems that maintenance and material damage made it difficult to keep.
Until I was in elementary school, my memories of my maternal home were an interior decorated with wooden materials, wooden stairs going up to the second floor. An old chest with a fish lock in the middle. A vanity and dresser in the master bedroom where the TV was placed, and a large aquarium in the entrance hall. That's why whenever I go to cafes remodeled from old two-story houses or places filled with vanity sets, those memories come back to me.
My maternal grandfather has passed away, but his nameplate still remains on the house.
This building also still has the doctor's nameplate. It will probably remain until the building is rebuilt.
