Calling All Koreans & Lovers Of Korean Culture!

[JustOKGamers]

안녕하세요! --> Hello! 

I'm Sung-kyu (or Sunggyu) and I have an idea for a Korean-themed residential community.  Essentially, I would like to create a sim using both traditional and modern Korean architecture; I am thinking to use the traditional Hanok for residents' homes (see the attached pictures).   

By no means would this community be exclusive to just Korean people - all would be welcome! 

Of course, a majority of this idea is reliant on the availability of these types of buildings and materials within the SL marketplace and beyond.  I will try to address this issue by hiring on an SL architect... is that what they're called?  Anyway, we'll cross that bridge.

Right now, all I would like to do is gauge interest in this concept: would you or someone you know be interested in joining a Korean-themed residential  community in SL? 

Feedback and suggestions would be wonderful~

Seems to me that you'd be competing with the Japanese-themed Linden Homes, which might make finding tenants a bit harder. (Yes, I know Japan is not Korea. But the architecture looks similar to Western eyes.) But nice, themed communities are always great to find in Second Life. Best of luck with your project!

Oh I know I have seen buildings in S/L like the top photo and the third one. They should not be difficult to find on the Marketplace.

The Korean traditional house has an ondol heated floor with the kitchen fire on one side and a chimney on the other as seen on the top photo. In Japan, no central heating at all or insulation. 

I read about this a long while ago. I love to learn about random things all the time.

I love Korean food. Mostly all the pickled stuff.

Not sure how accurate these are, but here are two Korean traditional houses from MP [link1][link2]. I agree that for the untrained eye, they might look Japanese.

Good luck in your endeavors!

The northern part of Korea look less traditional, but seems very colorful, still.
