Andongjang (Korean: 안동장; Hanja: 安東莊) is a historic Korean-Chinese restaurant in Seoul, South Korea. It is the oldest continually operating Korean Chinese restuarant in the city, having been founded in 1948. It has remained a family business, and is currently on its third generation of owners. It is a designated Seoul Future Heritage. The restaurant was founded by Chinese immigrants fleeing war in China. They first settled in Incheon. They named their restaurant after a place in Shandong, where their ancestors were from. It was initially near what is now CGV Piccadilly 1958, but moved as Jongno District saw redevelopment in the 1950s. It moved to its current location on the street Euljiro in 1956, and registered as a business in 1964. It was originally a three-story wooden building. After multiple renovations, it eventually became a five-story building with a basement. Its signature dish is reportedly its oyster jjamppong.

International Worship in English
International Worship in English

International Worship in English (IWE - pronounced "I" "WE") is a Christian ministry of Youngnak Presbyterian Church in Myeongdong Seoul, South Korea that in English offers traditional worship at 10am and contemporary worship at 3:30pm on Sundays. English worship in two different styles, small group Bible studies, counseling, fellowship, and retreats are provided for the international community in the greater Seoul area. The ministry is like a church (mega-church or KM) within a church (international church or EM). It was founded on Easter in 1998 by a volunteer pastor, Bill Majors, who, for his efforts, was made an Honorary Citizen of Seoul (2005). Youngnak Presbyterian Church was founded by Rev. Kyung-Chik Han, winner of the 1992 Templeton Prize, in 1945. Rev. Han, who died in 2000, lived to see the foundation of an English-language ministry at his church. Youngnak Presbyterian Church's IWE has a website which is updated weekly, listed below in the external links section. In 2012, Bill Majors ended his ministry at Youngnak IWE. Thereafter, pastor Paul Song, pastor Christine Han (interim), and pastor Issac Chang have served as the Lead Pastor position. Currently pastor Justin Yoon Ki Kim is leading the congregation. English services in Korean churches are popular, with almost all the large churches having a service in English. They are to be a "home away from home" for those who come to Korea from abroad. IWE worship services are open to be attended both by people who do not speak Korean (people from abroad) and by Koreans who attend for many reasons.
