- All New Seoul Tourism Homepage  Seoul is becoming a tourism mecca in Asia.  Due to ubiquity of internet around the world, people search about Seoul and get authentic information from its tourism homepage http://www.visitseoul.net/en/index.do So with all new design and sections, it will be more engaging yet informative at the same time!

PURI : July 5, 2013 at National Theater of Korea , Seoul Korea   PURI!  Art Hall for special performances Using Drums, Gitars, Piano with Korean traditional Instruments  Concept of PURI is simple and straight-forward by using Korean traditional musical instruments with touch and glare of modern instruments. In conclusion  they have been successful to get attention of foreign audience.

It was unique yet mesmerizing.  We could feel Korean culture more closely and passionately. Epic ending with their powerful dance performance :) Cheered by crowd.
