Oeam () is a traditional village dated from the Joseon period in South Chungcheong, South Korea, near Asan. The village preserves Joseon period architecture and customs, and was included in the UNESCO world heritage tentative list in 2011. In South Korea, it was designated an Important Folklore Cultural Heritage in 2000.
== History == The village was founded around the early 16th century by the members of the Kang and Mok clans. In the 16th century, during the reign of King Myeongjong, a high ranking government official named Yi Jeong (이정) moved here and thus the Yean Yi clan (예안 이씨) started to settle down in the area. Yi Jeong's sixth generation descendant, Yi Gan's (이간) pen name was Oeam, thus the village was named after him.
