Culture Station Seoul 284

This guide to Culture Station Seoul 284 opens in 1919, with a Korean doctor waiting outside for the newly arrived Japanese governor-general's motorcade. It follows the red-brick hall built six years later in deliberate echo of Tokyo's own station, the dome that watched decades of refugees and soldiers pass beneath it, and the damage it took during the Korean War. Look up at the repaired dome as you listen for how this building outlasted all of that.
