Description
Meet the people who make a caring city.
Meet your Seoul mates.
The warmth of a city grows from the everyday moments of people who stay beside one another. 『Seoul Mate 365』 captures the stories of those who help shape a caring Seoul.

Here, you will meet the steadfast, caring mates of Seoul. From the Humanities of Hope Program, community restaurants, Seoul Software Academy (SeSAC), to Stepping Stone Income, the book follows the lives of friends whose life’s seeds take root and grow through the cycle of the 24 solar terms. In their journeys-blooming amid both heat and cold, hope and uncertainty-you will discover messages of courage and comfort.

To help you experience a more caring Seoul, the book offers: My Caring Words, where you write down passages that resonate with you; My Caring Diary, where where simple questions invite reflection on your own moments of care; and Companionship Through the 24 Solar Terms, bookmarks that capture how our daily lives and Seoul’s stories of companionship shift with the seasons. These pages allow the caring moments held within Seoul to gently seep into your day.

Now, shall we turn the page?
Your journey of care begins-with friends by your side and the city of Seoul.
