Our Story

A Family Journey Since 1990

1990s — Building a Family

Our family put down roots in Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do — a vibrant city just outside Seoul. We built our home here and raised our children in a close-knit community surrounded by nature and Korean tradition.

2010s — Opening Our Doors

Eunjin began welcoming international students into our home, combining her passion for teaching Korean with the warmth of family life. What started as a small idea quickly became a calling.

Growing Our Mission

From a few guests to a fully developed program, our mission expanded. We added structured Korean language classes, travel guidance, and support services to help every visitor thrive in Korea.

Today — Family in Korea

With over 10 years of experience and guests from 20+ countries, Family in Korea has become a trusted name in cultural homestay and Korean language education. Our family continues to grow — one student at a time.
