Naver Workspace

Hello Everyone,
It’s Garrett with another Bonica blog post. My boss, Nicole, has been out of the country for the past couple of weeks, working on some exciting new products to add to the Bonica collection. To stay up to date with all things Bonica, I highly recommend following our Instagram: @bonica_lifestyle.
During Nicole's absence, she found an amazing workspace for me, provided by Naver, the leading South Korean web portal and search engine company similar to Google in the United States. Naver has numerous co-working locations spread throughout Seoul, and I had the pleasure of working at the Jongno branch. Despite being a foreigner with limited knowledge of the Korean language, the Naver staff welcomed me with open arms and provided me with a quiet workspace with everything I needed to succeed.
The Naver space offers a quiet area called the “Naver Partner’s Space.” This space has plenty of individualized working stalls that have electric outlets so anyone can charge their devices. Another great feature of the Naver Partner’s Space is the beautiful panoramic view that overlooks the city. The Partner’s Space is where I mainly worked, along with many other professionals. Additionally, Naver offers reserved studios where creators can film, record, and photograph their products. These studios are equipped with in-studio props for anyone to use, making it great for content creation.
While reservations are required for studio and workspace use, the staff are very accommodating to travelers and may assist in securing a booking on-site. Working at the Naver Square Space was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a quiet workspace while in Korea.
