Soop Table · Yeonnam, Hongdae, Seoul

A Korean Cooking Class in Yeonnam-dong

Yeonnam-dong is the quieter, café-filled neighborhood just next to Hongdae — and it's where Soop Table's hanok-inspired studio is tucked in, a short walk from all the energy of Hongdae Station.

A Different Side of the Hongdae Area

While Hongdae itself is known for nightlife and crowds, Yeonnam-dong next door has a slower, residential-café character — tree-lined streets, small shops, and a more local feel. It's this quieter setting that Soop Table's studio sits in.

Why Book Here Instead of Central Hongdae

Cooking in Yeonnam-dong means a calmer studio experience before or after exploring the busier parts of the area. Many guests treat it as a natural pairing: a relaxed cooking class in Yeonnam-dong, followed by an evening in Hongdae itself.
