A youth residence platform for rural-urban connection.
Seohadaum (서하다움) is a youth residence platform in Seoha-myeon, Hamyang. Operated by Bindoong Cooperative since 2012, it functions as a communication hub between urban and rural — a shared house, a cafe, a coworking studio, a woodshop, and a smart farm under one community.

Already living near Hamyang? Get a Local Pass at $50. Accommodation not included.
Not yet. It runs only when at least twenty people pledge. Below the threshold, every pledge is refunded in full.
Nomad stays start at $500 for one week. A separate $50 Local Pass exists for nearby residents bringing their own accommodation. Local Pass is coworking-only and doesn't include a bed in the share-house.
Mornings are protected deep-work blocks at the Seohadaum coworking studio. Afternoons open into the township: coffee at Cafe Seoha, project work, or a walk through the rice paddies. Dinners are communal four nights a week. Weekends are mountain and ginseng-country excursions led by weekend hosts.
The share-house "Hayeoga" runs on peaceful shared-living principles. 7am to 11pm is active time, 11pm to 7am is quiet time — late-night work or calls move to the Hadahada coworking studio next door. The space is explicitly inclusive: no discrimination by age, gender, nationality, religion, or origin. Each room comes with bedding (strip before leaving), towels, solid-bar soap, washing machine with eco-detergent, vacuum, yoga mats, and rain gear in the entrance closet. Bring your own laptop and chargers.
Zero-waste is the default, not an extra. Hayeoga is an energy-efficiency Grade 1+++ building with on-site solar-panel generation; heating and hot water still run on LPG, so guests keep showers short and run heaters conservatively (recommended indoor: 26–28°C summer, 18–20°C winter, 19–23°C spring/autumn). Waste sorts into glass / cans / plastic / paper / general at the entrance bins, and food waste goes into the kitchen bucket. If you have ideas to make daily routines greener, share them — the host actively collects guest suggestions.
