 It's undeniable that the Korean Wave has become a global phenomenon. Seoul is the hub of Korean film, drama, and K-pop, where K-content originated and has thrived. In the midst of all this, the Korean Film Archive in Sangam has been keeping track of the history of Korean film content since 1974, offering a chance to explore the essence of Korean cinema through the Korean Film Museum and Cinematheque KOFA, featuring classic and independent Korean and foreign films.

 The Korean Film Archive is created to be comfortable for all movie enthusiasts, offering fully accessible exhibits and screenings with spacious and level accessible ways for wheelchair users and stroller access. Exhibit descriptions through QR codes and Braille boards in elevators cater to hearing-impaired individuals, while accessible parking for persons with disabilities in the basement ensures the convenience of all visitors.

 After the movie, Sangam-dong is a fantastic spot to indulge in culinary delights: Shaburo 21 offers individually served shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, while Pinsaro specializes in authentic wood-fired Italian-style pizza. Following your meal, you can enjoy a selection of homemade beverages for a sweet break at Coffee Nara. The Experience Sangam course will give you a unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the allure of the Korean Wave, especially Korean films.

 The Korean Film Museum at the Korean Film Archive provides a comprehensive look at 100 years of Korean cinema, along with special exhibitions that dive into the principles of animation and film. The Cinematheque KOFA showcases classic, art, and independent films for diverse movie experiences, while the Film Reference Library provides access to Korea's largest film collection.

 The Korean Film Archive has a wide and accessible way that is free of stairs or inclines, as well as Braille blocks for those who are visually impaired. The main entrance is also wide and does not have a ramp, allowing easy access for all individuals, including wheelchair users. The entryway has a wheelchair-accessible info desk and displays, and every exhibit includes QR codes with video information for the hearing impaired. Additionally, there is an elevator that features Braille on the buttons corresponding to each floor. There is an accessible restroom for persons with disabilities, but the manual sliding doors do not have a lock, creating difficulty in usage.

 At Pinsaro Sangam, you can try genuine Roman-style pinsa, i.e., pizza, with homemade ham and sauce for a fresh taste experience. The dough is left to ferment for 48 hours at a low temperature resulting in a moist interior and crispy exterior, facilitating digestion. Margherita and Siciliana are the most popular options, but we also suggest trying the prosciutto cotto panini and porchetta panini. This small restaurant is an excellent spot to try out the authentic tastes of Italy, and you can drop by without reservations.
