Following street foods were Korean-style houses, traditional markets, the saunas, and hanboks. Interestingly, the answers also varied depending on the countries.  English-speaking countries wanted to experience street food, ancient palaces, and then traditional markets.  On the other hand, Chinese tourists chose hanbok, street food, then Korean-style homes, and Japanese tourists chose Korean-style homes, sunrise and sunset viewing, and then oriental medicine examinations. 


The survey took place from March 2 to March 13 with a total of 4,369 participants.
