About

Formed by refugees selling old magazines after the Korean War, this is a secondhand bookstore alley steeped in Busan's history. Old books are piled up like mountains on both sides of the narrow alleyway, creating a unique atmosphere where time seems to have stopped. The smell of old paper that tickles the tip of your nose with every step stimulates analog sensibilities, and it is also quite fun to discover treasure-like out-of-print books among the numerous books.

Beyond a simple bookstore street, it has established itself as a cultural space where memories and romance breathe.
