Han River Picnic
한강 피크닉 Hangang pikeunik
Your love language is a blanket and fried chicken.
A Han River picnic (Hangang pikeunik, 한강 피크닉) is the classic easygoing Seoul date: a mat on the grass in a riverside park, fried chicken delivered to the park, convenience-store ramyeon and the sunset over the water.
It's you if…
- You know which convenience store has the best ramyeon machine.
- You'd pick a free view over an expensive restaurant every time.
- Your bag always has a foldable mat in it, just in case.
The surprise
Han River people are the best planners in disguise. “Let's just go to the river” comes with the weather checked, the chicken ordered and the bus home timed.
