"Hongdae Street," the first things that come to mind are cafes, clubs, wall murals, fashion, underground music and art festivals. It was the non-mainstream artists who gathered in the area around Hongik University (shorted in Korean to "Hongdae") in the 1990s who turned the neighborhood into the center of arts and culture it is today.Hongdae-ap (the area in front of Hongik University) is a neighborhood known for its youthful and romantic ambience, underground cultures, and freedom of self-expression.
Unique cafes, cozy galleries, accessory stores, fashion shops, live cafés and clubs, art markets, and gourmet eateries make this a popular hang-out for locals in their 20s and 30s and a fascinating place to walk around.
