  1. info_photo_73_2.bmp Seodaemun Prison History Hall is a historical place that is filled with resentful spirits of the independence movement activists whom made Korea today. Now it is a famous attraction used for filming TV shows
  2. A hidden gem with narrow alleyways and steep slopes, this area historically served as the center of Seoul’s garment industry. It offers a glimpse into Seoul’s past urban life and industrial history.
  3. info_photo_1721_2.jpg The mural village at the foot of Naksan Park is called Ihwa village or Ihwa mural village because it is geographically located in Ihwa-dong in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The village turned into a mural village in 2006 as part of the culture ministry's project to upgrade the image of the isolated regions. From any point at which you come down from the park, you will see buildings with colorful images painted on them. But you need to do a little walk to see hidden murals that have not already been publicized too much. The most popular ones that are already well known to the public are those along the sidewalks or those near the main street where most people pass by.
  4. 을지로 만선호프 Euljiro, once the hub of manufacturing and printing in the 1970s-80s, has transformed into a trendy district with a retro charm as industries relocated. Remnants of the city's industrial past blend with a Brooklyn-like hip vibe. The area is home to popular eateries and beer alleys loved by Korean celebrities, where office workers gather after work for lively outdoor beer sessions.
