The boarding house culture, which has established itself as an educational heritage of Gongju, transcends a mere form of housing; it is a precious memory that preserves the learning and friendships of youth, as well as the warm sentiments of the local community. Hasudong No. 1 reinterprets the history and significance of this culture in a modern context, offering a variety of activities that allow visitors to directly experience and empathize with the past. Through a retro dance hall, visitors can revive the passion for music and dance enjoyed by young people of that era, and taste food and snacks that evoke the warm meals served at boarding houses. Additionally, a school uniform experience program is designed to allow visitors to feel the excitement and youthful emotions of their student days. Through these initiatives, citizens and visitors alike can experience the regional value and sentiment embedded in boarding house culture with all their senses, providing an opportunity to share and enjoy this fading cultural heritage in a new way.
