It was not until two years after coming to Korea that I realized how ignorant I truly was, having missed out on a place so beloved by the younger generation. Perhaps due to the fame of Hongdae's art programs, most activities here are art-related. Even a small jewelry stall in the market might be run by an artist, so while it may not seem like much now, one day you might find that something you bought here has become a valuable piece of art. Influenced by the independent and unique nature of art, the markets, clubs, and various festivals around Hongdae all have strong time-specific characteristics. You can only come here during certain times to enjoy the things you like. So let's go together and experience what we can feel now.
