Passion night scene contrasted with the luxury of a high-rise apartment

Enthusiasm, warmth of the country, night-winding trip

Korea, Seoul

The journey begins with daily life. It is because you feel inspiration from the moment you see something familiar, and it is identified with the excitement you experience in an unfamiliar destination. For example, Yongsan Printing Industrial Complex, which goes by way of work, and the national office that stops on the way home. It's so common that you just listen to the extraordinary things that are hidden in them. Maybe this is the best place to forget the cold wind this winter.
Since when has your passion overflowed?
Exit the South Area Exit 1 and cross the road once in the direction of Yongsan The Prime from the crossroad. The old name of this place is Namyoung-dong Printing Corporation. At one time it was noisy with the sound of a three-wheeled motorcycle carrying printed materials, but as time passed, most print shops moved to Paju Publishing Complex, where the phenomenon of cavitation quickly progressed. Of course, there was a chance of change. The redevelopment winds in Yongsan have begun building high-rise buildings one by one around. However, due to the delay in redevelopment of the printing complex, the old buildings were left untouched.

However, sometime after all this place, alleys began to form. There are also a variety of foods such as chicken, ham steak, alum, pork belly, and hops. The signboard built at the beginning of the alley reminds us of its identity. 'Come on ten. Passionate. '

Eul-san's printing industry has regained its vitality since the winter of 2014, when a young shopkeeper made up of members in their mid-20s. Founders, who lacked a good business source, took the place as a pioneer, where rents could be relatively cheap but they could carry nearby high-class apartment residents on their backs and form new business.

With the vision of making this place a street for youth traders, they opened several restaurants with different types of food and interior. There are five youth malls that remain to date, including 'Temple's Yakiniku', 'Temple Zukkumi', 'Cheolin 28', 'Chicken Revolution' and 'Potato House'. Upon hearing that the old alley has been filled with youth's ambitions, the number is increased to dozens of other restaurants. Office workers began to fill the streets on weekdays and family guests on weekends. The lottery that the youth expected was a good burst.

The night market is also open from spring 2015. As the sun goes down, a flea market sells food trucks, accessories, and vintage clothing, while a DJing party is held. Thanks to word of mouth as a sniper night market for young people, it has become a favorite spot for foreigners in recent years.

Keep in mind that the night market will have a rest period from November to February, which is winter. Even if the night market is not open, the passionate young man mall is open except Sundays, which are closed.

"Youth Mall employees are all about passion."
In addition to being a food alley formed in a distant part of the downtown area, it also has a passion. However, the unique charm of this place can be felt only by those who have wandered in the middle of passion.
Discerning comments found throughout the youth mall
Every store attracts witty phrases such as `` Do you really want it? '', `` It's there! ''

'Temple Skewers' and 'Temple Skewers' are twice as likely to be tied because they are grilled outdoors.

In particular, the friendly appearance of the staff who smiles while pretending to be passing by in front of the store is impressive. Even if you take a picture, it will pose for you. I also ask you to come out well.

The active attitude of the employees is in line with the fact that young shopkeepers emphasize service as the biggest virtue. All of these belong to young shopkeepers, not limited to any one shop, so they pursue common values. Therefore, there is no sense of heterogeneity even if there is not enough work place in one place, and the help of other store staff comes to help. Employees seem to consider this kind attitude and service spirit the greatest weapon of enthusiasm. One of the first-time grilled employees said with a joke, "We're all passionate," but looking back, I feel that it's not overwhelming at all.
Good personality goes well with people
Worry about blowing away a drink
There are a lot of restaurants in the alley of Passion, but the second thing that is unusual is 'Dabanggu'.
1960's concept bar 'Cafe'
It is full of props from the 60s, making you feel as if you are visiting a rural grandmother's house.

Even if it is not a shop run by a young shopkeeper, it is worth visiting.
Cozy atmosphere of 'Dabang'
The most interesting thing for guests coming here is the bathroom doorway.

If you go in the direction the staff tells you, you will see some nacre, but the newcomer does not think it is the entrance to the bathroom.

'Dabanggu' is a perfect place to enjoy a glass of sake along with pocha snacks.

It's quiet and cozy because it's located in a narrow alley where you have to turn around once more.

A bowl of hot noodles containing the grandmother's heart
When the afterglow is in the middle of the night, you need to try a bowl of hot noodles at Yeokchon Station `` Tashima Gukbang ''. As the mountain has been changed for two times, the appearance is somewhat shabby, but the heart and taste of the grandmother's grandmother who thinks of the guest is never shabby.
Shabby but elegant `` Tashima Country Room ''
When you first visit, the dignity of the grandmother's grandmother, who throws half-words in her words, may seem unkind. But if you look a bit, you can see that all the bruises are a warm heart for the guests. If you want to have noodles, pour out a bowl of broth and pour it quickly. You can meet a lot of local aunts who come to see your grandmother, even in the short time of eating. They come to ask for their regards, and their master grandmother and Dorando are eating flowers while eating dinner.
Warm night meal to satisfy the cold wind
The menu is simple. Anchovy noodles, bibim noodles, gimbap and water dumplings are all but the most expensive is cheap enough not to exceed 5,000 won. Usually women do not forget to ask for a small amount while ordering. Those who have not been sealed by their grandmother may not easily understand. As the business hours are from 7 pm to 4 am, a lot of taxi drivers came to the store, and the owner's grandmother explained that the sheep had grown as much as he was trying to take more care. Gimbap, which is as popular as noodles, is so big that it's hard to eat in a bite.
