Gentle Talks in Jong-Ro (Meeting at a new venue)

☕ Gentle Talks for Introverts

🗓 Date: Saturday, January 24th
⏰ Time: 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM
📍 Location: AnRak Bookstore
🚩 B1 of INNO88 TOWER (88, Yulgok-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul)

⚠️There are 3 ways to get to the bookstore:

1. You can take the escalator on the left side of the building that goes directly down to the basement.
2. You can enter the building lobby, then either

• take the elevator straight ahead down to B1, or
• take the escalator on the right side down to B1.

☕ Our meeting place, Anrak, is actually a bookstore & goods shop, not a café, so they don’t serve hot coffee or tea. They do have cold canned drinks you can buy.
If you’d like something else to drink, you can just grab something from the café on the 1st floor or a nearby convenience store and bring it with you.

"Tip : Grab lunch beforehand so you’ll have plenty of energy! 😉"

✅About:
Do you ever wish you could meet people in a space that feels calm, easy, and real?
If big parties or fast-paced small talk aren’t your thing, this meetup might be just what you need. 🌿
Gentle Talks for Introverts is a slow-paced, comfortable afternoon designed for those who enjoy thoughtful chats, quiet laughter, and honest connection.
You don’t need to be outgoing or talkative — just open to sharing a bit of yourself, or even just listening.
No pressure, no judgment — just natural conversation among people who understand what it’s like to be a little quieter in a noisy world.

💡 What to Expect:

• A feeling of calm connection — meeting others who “get” you
• New friendships built on real conversation
• A bit more ease in simply being yourself

Come as you are, take your time, and let’s enjoy an afternoon that feels peaceful, genuine, and human. ☕🌱
