[Article] The Pylon Club - Your Gateway to Korean Culture

Welcome to The Pylon Club!

We are delighted to introduce โ€˜The Pylon Clubโ€™ to everyone who has visited us here for various reasons. ๐Ÿ˜Š

In this article, we hope to share with you the origin of our clubโ€™s name, the values we uphold, and how we aim to preserve and celebrate those values.

โ‡’ A Strong Pillar and Gateway

Our clubโ€™s name, The Pylon Club, draws inspiration from the Greek word โ€˜ฯ€ฯ…ฮปฯŽฮฝ (pylon)โ€™, meaning "gate." In ancient Egyptian temples and large architectural structures, a pylon referred to monumental gateways shaped like towers.

A pylon functions both as a tower that supports a structure and as an entrance. Inspired by this dual role, we named our club The Pylon Club, aiming for it to be both a supportive pillar and a welcoming club for your life in Korea.

โ‡’ A Space for Everyone Interested in Life in Korea

The Pylon Club is a space where members from various countries and cultural backgrounds gather to share stories about daily life in Korea and exchange information. Whether youโ€™re a foreign resident in Korea, a Korean citizen, or planning to visit, we encourage everyone to engage in meaningful conversations on a variety of topics and questions about life here.

With this broad theme as our foundation, we look forward to providing content such as:

  • Weekly News โ€“ Updates on current social issues in Korea.

  • 1-Topic Deep Dive โ€“ In-depth articles analyzing a single topic.

  • Living Tips for Korea โ€“ Practical information, such as visa policies and everyday tips.

  • Introducing Korea โ€“ Promoting Korean companies, tourism, and more.

  • Offline Events

We believe in viewing information from diverse perspectives. Feel free to share your thoughts and knowledge about the content we provide. A variety of insights and experiences enrich us all and serve as valuable support for one another. ๐Ÿ˜‰

โ‡’ We Are Each Otherโ€™s โ€˜EEUTโ€™

In The Pylon Club, members refer to one another as โ€˜EEUTโ€™.

In Korean, thereโ€™s a saying that โ€œa good neighbor is better than a distant relative.โ€ Like family by proximity, a neighbor can be an equally strong source of support. We aim to bring this sense of โ€œneighborlyโ€ connection into our club.

The Pylon Club hopes to foster a club where everyone who loves Korea and is interested in life here becomes each otherโ€™s โ€˜EEUTโ€™, building mutual respect and trust.

โ‡’ โ€˜Love & Respectโ€™ Both Yourself and Others

At the heart of The Pylon Club is our core value of Respect. We support and respect all individuals living within Korean society.

Join The Pylon Club, where people who respect themselves and strive to become better EEUT come together. Letโ€™s explore various cultural experiences, encourage each other, and create a vibrant โ€œneighborlyโ€ community in the warm atmosphere of The Pylon Club.
