On the same day, the Seoul Metropolitan Government added the barbershop, opened in 1974 by Jang's father, to the city's Seoul Future Heritage list this year. The city government has maintained the list since 2013 to preserve the city's historic heritage. The Korea House, a cultural venue in downtown Seoul that offers traditional wedding ceremonies and cultural events, was the other place added to the list this year. [YONHAP]
