JIRO, on the hunt for great squid dishes in Iksan!

Hello, this is JIRO! 😊

As mentioned in our previous post, JIRO visited Iksan last week to conduct an interview with CEO Aelim Kim of BeMike. During the trip, we came across a great local eatery in Iksan. Today, we’d like to introduce that spot to you—so let’s take a look!

JIRO, on the hunt for great squid dishes in Iksan!

(Iksan Jungang Market eatery)

On its first visit to Iksan,

JIRO headed to Jungang Market for lunch.

Womp womp…

Actually, we planned to visit

the famous ₩3,500(about $2) tangsuyuk spot,

but it was closed…

Mwahahaha!

While looking for a place to eat,

we spotted a brightly lit snack bar.

The cozy interior

felt strangely welcoming,

The prices were great!

Squid salad and flat dumplings

are this place’s specialties,

so we ordered them with seafood ramen.

The tangy squid salad and flat dumplings

₩8,000 (about $6)

The tangy squid salad and flat dumplings—

we quickly agreed they were the house specials!

The seafood ramen packed with squid

₩5,000 (about $4)

The seafood ramen, packed with squid,

came with a rich and spicy broth!

Ssangdungi Bunsik

No.13, 27 Jungang-ro 3-gil, Iksan City

When we said it was our first visit to Iksan,

they wished us a great trip

and handed us a tangerine.

Kind service + great taste + fair prices,

100% coming back!

If you’re traveling to Iksan, this is definitely something worth trying!

That’s all for today’s post, and we’ll be back soon with more great stories. See you next time!

Meet Jiro: Why We Care About Local Communities

Hello, this is Jiro! Today, we’d like to properly introduce who we are and why we do what we do. Jiro is a project team formed by Korean university students who share a common concern: the quiet disappearance of local regions—and with them, someone’s hometown, memories, and everyday life. Rather than standing by, we asked ourselves a simple question: “What can we do, right now?” That question became the starting point of Jiro, and it continues to guide our work in regional revitalization. To keep things easy and engaging, let us introduce ourselves through a short Q&A.

From publishing a local magazine to organizing a fully self-funded festival, and even operating Miji, a select shop in the old downtown area— we’d like to share the story told by Kim Aerim, who continues to demonstrate the possibilities of “local.” Miji is located just a four-minute walk from Iksan Station. We met Kim Aerim in a space filled with products closely connected to Iksan. Stepping Away from Familiarity Discovering what makes a place special begins with stepping away from familiarity. Kim Aerim emphasized the importance of not assuming we already know a place simply because it feels familiar. The more familiar a place is—especially one we grew up in—the easier it is to say, “There’s nothing here,” or “I already know everything.” She explained that this mindset is one of the biggest reasons people end up leaving their hometowns.
