Local creative hub
HINOMAD LAB
The offline hub that connects the people who stayed with local merchants.
HINOMAD LAB is HINOMAD's offline hub. We revive idle space in Sokcho's old downtown to build a creative hub where local small businesses and young people grow together. It's a project that tackles head-on local problems like the 13.1% vacancy rate in Sokcho's old downtown, the highest in the province.

Where we're headed
"You don't have to go to the capital. You learn, meet, and make things right here, around Sokcho." And one step further: "A city where the shape of life grows more diverse does not disappear."
Its role in mindtouch
The circulation engine of the ecosystem. It turns the flow that HeySeorak drew in and HINOMAD kept here into real local economic value: connecting the people who stayed with local businesses and young people, turning a relational population into a settled one.
