Nearby
Hongdae Walking Street
A registered shopping street running along Eoulmadang-ro, with 192 units along it. Several stretches around Hongdae are registered as shopping streets; this is the largest of them.
KT&G Sangsangmadang Hongdae
One address, seven floors, and not one standing opening time published for any of them. What this building says about its own hours is whatever show happens to be on that floor this month.
MUSINSA GARAGE
A small live room on Jandari-ro in Hongdae, shared between indie bands and rookie-idol showcases. It is the size of room you drop into in the evening after a day spent walking Hongdae.
Gyeongui Line Forest Park
It has no gate, no fee and no closing time, but it also has no car park anywhere along its 6.3 km — the operator says so outright and tells you to come by train. Which is fitting for a park that used to be one.
