Hongdae Street, Brimming with Youthful Energy

Hongdae Street in Seoul is a haven for the youth, bustling with fashion, beauty, lifestyle, books, designer brands, boutiques, bookstores, cafes, and restaurants. It’s known for its vibrant street performances, the mural street near the back gate of Hongik University, and the famous Hongdae club street connected to Sangsu Station

Diverse Cultural Experiences in Hongdae

Visitors to Hongdae don’t just shop or admire; they actively participate in showcasing and introducing their own creations. The Hongdae Art Market Flea Market, held every Saturday in front of Hongik University, and the Hope Market on Sundays are among the many art markets originating from Hongdae.

Not to Miss: Yeonnam-dong

Heading towards Donggyo-dong from Exit 3 of Hongik University Station leads to Yeonnam-dong. Once known for its 24-hour diners, it’s now replaced by unique shops, cafes, and restaurants. Walking along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park, you’ll discover intriguing new stores.

Attractions

The alleys around Hongik University Station, connecting Hapjeong, Sangsu, and Gwangheungchang Stations in Seogyo-dong, hide charming little shops. The emerging hotspots from Hongik University Station towards Yeonnam-dong and Yeonhee-dong are lined with sophisticated and trendy stores. Another way to enjoy the Gyeongui Line Forest and Book Street areas is by riding Seoul’s public bikes, Ddareungi.
