About

It is a street where the Seongsu-dong industrial area, densely populated with handmade shoe factories, printing shops, and repair shops since the 1970s, has been transformed into a sensuous cultural and arts space. It earned the nickname 'Brooklyn of Korea' as declining empty warehouses and red brick buildings were renovated with a unique sensibility while preserving their exteriors. From Daerim Warehouse, which was converted from a rice mill and became the origin of complex cultural spaces, to the sensuous cafes, pop-up stores, and select shops that line Yeonmujang-gil, they blend with the old traces of factory alleys to create a unique newtro atmosphere unique to Seongsu-dong.
