Our Story

Once upon a time

The storybook “Lucky Smiley” was published in Songdo in 2019. Based on a true event, this book was written in both English and Korean in the hope of developing connections between people sharing the same interests. 

 

Songdo Stories takes this aspiration further to create a collective project that might foster a sense of belonging and identity within the community.
