The heart of the internet

On one of our more interesting nights out in Euljiro, we stumbled upon a Pink Floyd themed bar called ‘Dark Moon’. On our latest visit to Euljiro, we found a new arcade near Euljiro Station called Hipple Joy (map). Given its location, The Taco Booth is also a great place to people watch in Euljiro, with revellers darting back and forth in the alley outside. So we’ve already talked about Euljiro’s most famous Tex Mex, Oldies Taco – however, possibly riding on their coattails, we discovered the new Taco Booth in Euljiro on our 2025 trip and decided to give it a go. Incredibly popular, Oldies Tacos is easy to spot as there is usually a huge queue outside (oh and the external neon sign is a giveaway too). During festivals and Christmas in Seoul, the Cheonggyecheon stream sometimes has special lights and pop-up events – one our favourites is the Seoul Outdoor Library 한국야동 which runs from April to October every yea

In 1974, the Los Angeles Korean 한국야동 Festival Foundation was founded by the leaders of the early Korean-American community with the purpose of preserving their Korean roots after immigrating to the United States. 한국야동 In the great city of Los Angeles, where many diverse cultures co-exist, the Los Angeles Korean Festival Foundation is considered one of the major advocates of furthering the knowledge of Korean culture and its traditions. 한국야동 More than 200 teachers may soon have to leave the country because of what they say are broken promises from the city’s school syste

After spending the majority of the year in the Middle East and Central Asia where drinking and nightlife 한국야동 aren’t really a thing, I truly felt like a kid at a candy store in Hongdae. I recommend staying in the Hongdae area in case you want to get home before the trains start running again. Taxis aren’t too unreasonable, but a short walk home is preferably to a $20 cab ride in any regard. There are plenty of great hostels in and around the Hongdae area. I’ve heard rave reviews of Zzzip Guesthouse, and I also stayed at Time Travelers’ Party Hostel. Each hostel has a different vibe, so if you’re looking for a more social atmosphere, I’d recommend Time Travelers and Zzzi

While most traditional K-drama episodes run for 60 to 70 minutes, the Lovestruck in the City installments clock in between 30 and 40 minutes, making this a brisker watch than most of the entries on this lis

Euljiro also has many historical landmarks and heritage buildings right on its doorstep, plus the 한국야동 bright lights of Myeongdong close by. Yet despite all this, Euljiro is generally unknown to travellers and tourists. MVRDV’s The Imprint, a dual structured entertainment facility, sits as the center piece of a new tourist hub in Seoul, South Korea. The sibling buildings, the Wonderbox and Nightclub, share an architectural language; both becoming an echo of their family, the immediate surrounding building

It’s something you live, preferably with comfortable shoes and realistic expectations. Trust me, I’ve had thirty-eight years to figure this out. Seongsu is for cozy cafés and design corners; Naksan Park’s fortress wall path gives romantic night views with fewer crowds. Namsan Tower (N Seoul Tower) offers central views with classic city panoramas, while Seoul Sky at Lotte World Tower rises higher with glass floor thrill

The subway operates until midnight, making it a convenient option for late-night adventures. Just be sure to check the last train times to avoid getting stranded. Taxis are also readily available, and using apps like KakaoTaxi can make hailing one a breeze. Keep in mind that taxis have a small surcharge during late-night hours, but it’s still an affordable optio

In one of my top blog posts on the 15 things you should do in Seoul, I mentioned watching the Banpo Bridge light & water show at Banpo Hangang Park as well. Secondly, a curfew has been imposed to prevent overtourism in the village. As of March 2025, anyone who visits after 5 PM for tourism purposes will be fined approximately US$ 7

Although having Hollywood actors cameo in Korean dramas is not new, Tempest is the first Korean series to have received approval from SAG/AFTRA, with multiple Hollywood actors involved in its production. This entire project came to life thanks to consulting producer and actress Alicia 한국야동 Hannah-Kim. In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale, Park So-dam (Death’s Game) stars as Eun Ha-won, our titular “Cinderella,” a high school senior who dreams of becoming a teacher but is thwarted at every step by her vindictive step-mother. When she inadvertently impresses the chairman of a powerful corporation, she is hired to move into a mansion to keep his three grandsons in line. This era of K-drama was ruled by the poor-girl-meets-chaebol-boy love story, and Cinderella and the Four Knights is one of the best. Most K-dramas follow a tried-and-true structure, but Lovestruck in the City mixes things up with a mockumentary forma
