[4K SEOUL] Hongdae Street Walking Tour on a weekend afternoon KOREA SEOUL WALK

The night in Seoul is safe and colorful. Let’s go to the night of Seoul together, which attracts many young people and foreigners with a strong power with neon sign lights that do not lose their light even at dawn when the artistic atmosphere, various cultures, and dark nights gather moonlight.

Hongdae Street is a large commercial district in Seoul located in Hongik University, Hongik University Station, and Sangsu Station. Hongdae Street’s Hongdae is short for Hongik University, and after the opening of Hongik University Station, Seogyo-dong, Sangsu-dong, or domestic indie scene, which maintains a unique commercial district, is often referred to as Hongdae Street. Of course, in reality, just as abbreviations for universities such as Konkuk University and Ewha Womans University are quite used as names for downtown areas, this place is often called Hongdae.

Due to the nature of Hongdae, there are many people busking on the streets. This is because Korean indie music and hipster culture have also developed throughout the region. If you want to appreciate the energy and culture that live performances give off, visit the live club in Hongdae, where indie bands perform for a year, 365 days!

Clubs are not everything in Hongdae. If you want to feel the diverse Hongdae culture, indie band live clubs are more suitable. Cafes and bars, where small performances are held in Hongdae and Sangsu-dong, attract many people to enjoy the performances of unique indie artists who play various genres of music live. Music that communicates with musicians in a small space has an unmatched charm. Let’s gather right in front of the band with a beer and leave ourselves to the beat or sit in a corner and enjoy the performance calmly.
