The husband-and-wife team who converted this house have keen design sensibilities. K-Pop-fanatic Jacqueline chooses photogenic, homey decor and cooks delightful Korean breakfasts designed to wow on social media. Colour-themed studios are chic, with premium bedding, and all have their own modern bathroom. It's a few blocks from Hongdae's epicentre of shopping and bars, but within a quiet garden.
