Chungdong First Methodist Church
Chungdong First Methodist Church

Chungdong First Methodist Church (Korean: 정동제일교회; Hanja: 貞洞第一敎會) is a historic church in Jeong-dong, Jung District, Seoul, South Korea.The church claims a number of historic firsts within Korea. It is the first Methodist church and one of the earliest Protestant churches, as its congregation (albeit in a different building) was founded on October 11, 1885. The church performed the first Methodist baptism on July 24, 1887, started the first Christian women's group in 1889, had the first pipe organ, and Western-style chapel. The church's first building was built in 1897, and is the oldest extant church in Korea, as well as the only one originally built during the 19th century. The church was founded by American missionary Henry Appenzeller. In September 1887, he purchased a small hanok (traditional Korean house) to house the church, and deemed the building "Bethel Chapel". As the congregation grew, the church leadership decided to construct a larger building. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 9, 1895, with notable Korean leaders Soh Kwang-pom and Yun Chi-ho present. A dedication service was held for the new building on December 26, 1897, which they also dubbed "Bethel Chapel". The church was expanded in 1926, changing from a cruciform (cross-shaped) church to a rectangular building.The architecture is a simplified American gothic style, with arched window frames. Bethel Chapel was made Historic Site of South Korea No. 277 in 1977.It currently holds worship services in both Korean and English. It also maintains a Mangon Christian History Reference Room for historical materials. The church opened a history museum on November 12, 2023.

Jaembaeok

Jaembaeok (Korean: 잼배옥) is a historic Korean restaurant in Jung District, Seoul, South Korea. It is the fifth oldest active restaurant in Seoul, having opened in 1933. It specializes in the ox bone soup dish seolleongtang. The restaurant is one of relatively few seolleongtang restaurants in the city that survived the 1910–1945 Japanese colonial period and 1950–1953 Korean War. According to the second-generation owner of the restaurant, the name of the restaurant comes from phrase jabawi (자바위; 紫岩; lit. red rock), a name for the owner's home area in Do-dong. The pronunciation drifted to jambawi (잠바위), then to jaembae; ok (옥; 屋) means house. The restaurant reportedly has a soup gamasot (cauldron) that boils at all hours. The soup is continually added to in a similar manner to that of a perpetual stew. It also serves other dishes, such as doganitang, kkori-gomtang, and haejang-guk. The restaurant first opened in 1933, near Seoul Station, by Kim Hee-jun. The exact founding date is reportedly uncertain; the founder recalled the date as either 1932 or 1933, and reported 1933 to be conservative. It was reportedly destroyed during the 1950–1953 Korean War. During the war, Kim fled Seoul and served other refugees food from a tent. Upon the 1953 ceasefire, Kim returned and resumed business in Namdaemun. In 1974, the store moved to its current location. In 1982, Kim died and passed the restaurant onto his son Kim Hyeon-min (김현민). The restaurant eventually passed to grandson Kim Kyung-bae and granddaughter-in-law Yoon Kyung-sook.
