Yeonsil Bang

Before unexpectedly moving with her family to Singapore in 2013, Yeonsil worked as a government officer for 10 years in Korea.

As a history buff, she became a volunteer guide in the National Museum of Singapore and soon discovered a passion for guiding. She enjoys meeting and connecting with people from many different countries and sharing her knowledge about her new home, the lovely country of Singapore.

However she discovered that many Korean visitors weren’t able to appreciate the rich history of Singapore due to the language barrier. So she gathered a group of Korean colleagues to provide regular Korean tours in the Museum and they have proved a big success.

She now wants to expand her love of guiding by sharing the best of Singapore outside of the Museum with Korean visitors and residents. These will be the first Korean walking tours specialising in Singapore’s heritage and culture.
