Kyobo is one of the bookstore chains in Korea. One of the characteristics of this branch is its Reading Table for 100 people, which is made of a 50,000 years Pine Wood. People are welcomed to take a seat and read as they like. Per my visits, the seats were 99% full (exactly as the photo below), showing that the interaction facilitated is a successful one.
Please be reminded that Jongno is a prime district and Kyobo is a commercial bookstore.
People enjoy reading at the stylish Pine Table:

One more interesting thing i found in Kyobo is the paper envelop cup 봉투컵 at the water dispenser. I think the good point is, space saving. However, as the volume seems a bit small and Korea is very dry, I had to get refill 4-5 times usually.

[…] They are not far from Kyobo as well, after walking out from the Exit 1 of the Jonggak Station (Line1), go straight for 10 mins, and you will reach the Gwanghuamun branch of Kyobo. […]
