EasyTicket Lee Hyo-seok Literature Museum
📍 봉평면, Pyeongchang
The Lee Hyo-seok Literature Museum was built in Bongpyeong to honor the life and work of Lee Hyo-seok, author of the novel "When the Buckwheat Flowers Bloom." It displays a range of materials Lee left behind, including handwritten manuscripts and photographs.
"When the Buckwheat Flowers Bloom" is regarded as a landmark work of modern Korean short fiction for its tight prose and structure. Since the museum sits amid the Bongpyeong buckwheat fields that serve as the novel's setting, you can combine a museum visit with a stroll through the buckwheat fields.
