From a historical point of view, the urban hanoks in the area of Jeok-dong and Bongnam-dong are an important source of information on the development process of Korean residential culture that took place in the course of the development towards an industrialized society from the 1910s. Therefore, experts and citizens from all walks of life have suggested that it is necessary to manage the urban hanoks in Jeonju at the national level and to protect, repair, and support them in a planned manner in order to preserve the history and tradition of Korean urban residential culture. In addition, Jeonju City's urban hanok complex is the only area where architectural forms and structures, alley ways, etc. are preserved in good condition.

The traditional beauty of Jeonju Hanok Village is especially reflected in the curve of the eaves of the Hanok. The curves of the eaves are the characteristic feature of hanok and the rhythm of the hanok dance. Hanok is roughly divided into two parts, namely, the inner room and the guest room. The inner room is mostly used by women and has a boudoir, while the guest room is mostly used by men and has a study room. The structure of Hanok is a reflection of the difference between men and women in ancient times. Among them, the private rooms, which were used by women, were usually located in the deepest and most secret places. Another feature of the Korean house is the kang room. Korean people's living customs are linked to the sitting culture, and therefore, they have a heated kang in their homes. A fire is lit and heated in a stove outside the room, and the whole room becomes warm. The best feature of the kang is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer. The Hanok Village also has a Hanok Living Experience Center, where visitors can experience the traditional Korean kang in the boudoir and study room. In addition, the experience center offers traditional Korean food served in a nachungu ware, which adds to the traditional Korean experience. In Jeonju Hanok Village, you can not only experience traditional Korean life, but also eat the famous Jeonju bibimbap.
