DARI is a magazine that documents urban life, people, and culture through the bridges of the Han River in Seoul. Each issue focuses on one of the city’s 32 bridges, observing the unique neighborhoods and lifestyles that surround them.

The first issue begins with Yanghwa Bridge, capturing the stories of those who cross it and live around it. From local families and independent brands to food, art, design, and running culture,

DARI offers an unfiltered, human-scale view of the city.

This is not a tourist guide to Seoul

but a quiet record of how people actually live and connect in the city.
To reach both foreign readers and local culture enthusiasts, the magazine is published entirely in English.

This issue gathers stories

from families, eateries, workspaces, and brands rooted in the area. Rather than polished landmarks, DARI listens to the humble voices that shape the true rhythm of the city.

DARI is a long-term documentation

of life, people, and cityscapes through the bridges of Seoul. Each issue will focus on a different bridge, unveiling the distinct lifestyle shaped by its surrounding neighborhood. The next issue is currently in preparation, centered around Banpo Bridge. Published twice a year, DARI aims to become a cultural archive that captures the layered identity of Seoul. We are also open to brand collaborations, cultural projects, and creative partnerships that share this vision of storytelling through place.
