Hello! I’m a certified English-speaking tour guide on beautiful Jeju Island, South Korea. I offer customized private tours for travelers who want to see the real Jeju. Before guiding, I worked at a local history foundation. I led field trips and gave talks about Jeju’s past, especially the Jeju 4.3 Uprising. Because of this, I know Jeju’s history and culture very well and love sharing them with my guests. I also love outdoor activities! I often hike up Mount Halla and many smaller volcanic hills (oreum). As a passionate cyclist, I’ve ridden all over Jeju and found many hidden spots. I’ve also traveled overseas with my bike, so I understand international travelers well. Plus, I’m a licensed cook and a real foodie! I love finding great places to eat. Jeju has so much good food—not just famous black pork and seafood, but also great local dishes and world foods. Whether you want a hike, a history walk, or a local food tour, I keep my tours fun, easy, and flexible. I look forward to meeting you and showing you the best of Jeju!

Our tour with Yongchan was 5 stars all around. Yongchan speaks spectacular English and knows Jeju like the back of his hand. He was a terrific communicator before and throughout the tour and took pains to meet our specific interests, including planning a great hike, fulfilling a specialized shopping need, and giving us a taste of Jeju cuisine. Could not have asked for...

Yongchan was amazing! Would definitely recommend. Took us to all the local gems. Everyone in our multigenerational family group had a great time.

What drew me to Yongchan’s tour was his history background, especially re: 4/3. And unlike a previous tour where I didn’t have much of a wish list, I had quite a list for Yongchan. He showed up with a map and proposed an itinerary that was quite expansive. Yongchan’s thoughtful planning and passion for the island’s history—plus his personal connection to Jeju—yielded an...
