About Tour Guide Juhee K.

Hi! I’m Juhee, a nationally certified tour guide with the heart of a teacher and a passion for sharing Korea in a meaningful way.


I have over six years of experience teaching Korean to learners from more than 20 countries, ranging from children to adults, both in the U.S. and Korea. Teaching the language naturally led me to culture and history—because once students begin to understand Korean, they always become curious about why things are done a certain way here. I’ve also taught a university summer course, “Introduction to Korean Cinema,” exploring Korean history and society through films and dramas.


That curiosity eventually brought me into tour guiding. My goal is to help visitors understand Korea through stories, context, and real-life experiences, not just facts. Thanks to my teaching background, I explain things clearly and at a comfortable pace—never rushed or overwhelming.


My tours are well-organized, interactive, and friendly. I tailor each experience to guests’ interests, introduce useful Korean expressions along the way, and connect Korea’s past with everyday life today—from royal palaces and historic sites to places locals genuinely enjoy.


If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, positive, and approachable guide, I’d love to show you around Seoul. Let’s explore Korea with curiosity, clarity, and great energy.
