One moment — walking above the clouds...
“A Korean folktale about a blue frog who always did the opposite of his mother's words, finally obeyed her only after she was gone, and weeps when it rains, fearing her grave will wash away. A one-day course beginning at Daecheong Lake — asking the one word you've never said. 9 missions across Hanbat Arboretum, the City Museum of Art, Bomunsan Spring, the Daecheong Suspension Bridge, Expo Science Park, the National Science Museum, Eunneungjeongi Street, Sungsimdang, and Kalguksu Alley.”

See every spot in this course at a glance. Tap a colored pin to read the one-line intro.
First, choose a role. At every stop, whoever suits that place steps forward and opens the story. When you arrive, a character from the folktale speaks to you. Answer the quiz and finish the mission to win back a shard. Collect them all, and you close the story at the final place.
Long ago there lived a green tree frog. This frog did the opposite of everything his mother said. If she told him to go to the mountain, he went to the river. If she told him to sit, he stood up. He was like that even when his mother lay sick. Before she died, his mother said one last thing. "When I die, bury me by the river." She really wanted to be buried on the mountain. But because her son always did the opposite, she said the opposite. When his mother passed away, the frog did what she said for the very first time. He buried her by the river. And now, whenever it rains, he cries — afraid the water will rise and wash the grave away. The frog you will meet today is that frog. He still flips his words. He calls what he likes "no good," and says he isn't curious about things he really wants to know. But in front of one person, he speaks plainly. In front of the person who opens each place.
Starting point — walk once around the pond and recall one moment from childhood when you did the opposite of what your mother (or father) said, on purpose.
Boss spot — the lakeside where the blue frog laid his mother to rest. Standing on the meditation garden's lakeside deck, capture in one photo the "one word" you've never said aloud.
Buy the signature "twigim-soboro" (fried streusel bun) or another signature bread at the main branch, and take one photo with it.
Stand before Hanbit Tower and recall one decision from "very young" that has followed you all your life.
Walk once through the exhibit and choose how a "rainy day" reaches you right now. There is no right or wrong — today, you are the answer.
When the canopy plays rain/water/star footage, take one photo beneath that light. In the caption, write one line about the real memory this fake rain brought back.
