The first store opened in Ulsan Grand Park in April of last year .
Afterwards, there are four branch offices in Jangsaengpo Cultural Warehouse, Seonam Lake Park, and most recently UNIST, and by 2026, 20 will be created in Ulsan alone.
The space is provided by a public organization, but the company paid the cost of creating it, which costs about 500 million won per space, and the operation was entirely left to the public organization.
A conglomerate that has always been interested in the humanities spirit first started in Ulsan, which is no different from its hometown, and plans to make 100 units nationwide, but they are reluctant to disclose the fact of donation.
