A law closed the hagwon at 10pm, so a generation of Seoul's students moved their studying into 24-hour study cafés instead.
At a goshiwon-style 24-hour study café (dokseosil) in Daechi-dong, the after-hours academic economy that Korea's hagwon curfew was designed to stop simply relocated one floor down. Since 2009, most private academies in Seoul must close by 10pm, a rule meant to protect students' sleep and rein in the cost of private tutoring. Instead, thousands of high schoolers now walk straight from their last class into a silent, fluorescent-lit study café that runs all night, paying by the hour or the month for a desk, a lamp, and total silence enforced by house rules stricter than any school's. By 1am the room is still half full — some catching a few hours before dawn study groups, some pulling a full all-nighter before a mock exam. The curfew changed where the pressure lives, not how much of it there is.
