[4K] Hongdae Slow Walk on Friday Night - the busiest nightlife area in Seoul | 금요일밤 홍대, 느리게걸으며 보는 불금

Hello, This is Walk Together.

Hongdae area is always busy on friday night. It became less busy due to COVID-19, but still Seoul's busiest nightlife area. Sadly, at this moment, most clubs are closed, but bars, restaurants and cafes, stores are still open for customers.

Today, I walked quite slower than usual, so you can see surrounding more closely. The walk takes an hour from start to end, from sunset to night. Also, the walk starts from Hongdae Station and end at Hapjeong station which is near YG Entertainment new building. The walk continues(even it is different day) to YG new building on this video: https://youtu.be/AjPPCu1wJmo

안녕하세요? Walk Together 입니다.

오늘은 홍대 금요일밤을 천천히 걸어보았습니다. 브이로그 느낌이 나도록 홍대입구역에서 시작해서 합정역까지, 평소보다 느린 걸음으로 걸어서 약 1시간 정도가 소요되었습니다. 해가 조금씩 지기 시작할 때 걷기 시작했는데, 어느덧 최종 목적지였던 합정역에 도착했을때는 하늘이 완전히 어두워져 있었습니다. 그럼, 홍대의 불금을 함께 걸어보아요.

Hongdae (Korean: 홍대; Hanja: 弘大) is a region in Seoul, South Korea near Hongik University, after which it is named. It is known for its urban arts and indie music culture, local shops, clubs and entertainment. The area is located in Mapo-gu in the western end of Seoul, stretching from Seogyo-dong to Hapjeong-dong.

Under the influence of Hongik University (Hongdae) which is well known for its prestigious art college, the neighborhood was built on a foundation of artistic souls since the 1990s. In the early days, thanks to then-cheap rent, budget musicians and street artists started moving into the ateliers of the Hongdae area. In the true sense of the word, the Korean indie scene started from the two bands, Sister's Barbershop and Crying Nut at Hongdae in the mid-1990s. Before that many cover bands were playing near Shinchon and Idae. Later, other bands like Jaurim, Peppertones and Idiotape started to play at venues in Hongdae, and the area begins to have a reputation as the mecca of urban arts and underground club culture. Now the area provides street art festivals and performances, as well as music concerts by independent artists and mainstream entertainers.

Many come to Hongdae for its aesthetically unique characteristics. There are many graffiti murals painted all over the streets of Hongdae. One of the well known areas for these murals is Hongdae Mural Street (also known as ‘Picasso's Street’).

Like other multi-cultural metropolitan areas, this street is undergoing gentrification. However, despite the recent explosion of upmarket brand shops that pushes artists to move toward the southern area near Hapjeong Station, the street still enjoys a reputation as the city's prime spot for indie musicians. Many live music venues and festivals draw revelers from a wide range of visitors. YG Entertainment, the major K-pop agency is also located near the street.

Apart from indie art culture, Hongdae is also home to independent clothing stalls and vintage shops. As well, there are kitschy and eclectic theme cafes for characters and pets. In 2016, Hongdae was ranked one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world. / from Wikipedia
