Have you ever heard of Haebangchon? It is located below Namsan Mountain and emerging as a hot place among young people for its vintage atmosphere. Haebangchon boasts its preserved appearance from its 1968 appearance following a modernization project. It is also a village formed by people who came back to Korea from other countries right after Korea gained its independence. Specifically, the Sinheung Market in Haebangchon is full of accessory shops, cozy cafes, and restaurants. It may look like a small alley on the outside, but it is an interesting to place that offers tasty food, shopping, and other attractions. We highly recommend that you visit Haebangchon this fall!
