Traditional Korean Hanok: Birthplace of Samsung Founder Lee Byung-chul

Description

The image presents a serene scene of a traditional Korean Hanok. Sloped roofs covered with black tiles are layered and staggered, while white walls and wooden pillars outline an ancient, unadorned silhouette. Dark wooden window frames emit an elegant air. Beside the stone steps in front of the house, clay pots are stacked, and stone facilities (resembling an old well) are simple and sturdy. Lush greenery surrounds the residence—bamboo forests and tall trees interweave to form shade, creating a quiet, timeless atmosphere. This is the birthplace of Samsung founder Lee Byung-chul (in Uiryeong-gun). The fusion of traditional architecture and natural surroundings fully embodies the tranquil charm of Korean ancient dwellings, combining historical and cultural value with tourism appeal. It is a key site to explore the origins of Samsung’s entrepreneurship.
