"They had no gold, only their hands." When the dynasty fell, the court ladies and officials left the palace with empty hands. They had no treasures or gold to sell. Their only assets were the Skills they had honed for the King: The Art of Cooking and The Art of Performance. This tour traces the sorrowful yet resilient path of these elites. We walk from the Silence of the Throne to Insa-dong, where they established restaurants and bars to survive. Witness how the Royal Banquet transformed into the foundation of Seoul's gastronomy and nightlife.
