Seoul, Daehakno, South Korea

Displayed:   times.

Daehakno, known as the street for young people, is the former location of Seoul National University. Since the 1980s, many play theaters started moving to Daehakno, and it started developing into a cultural center. Soon live-cafes, movie theaters, regular cafes and pubs came as well, and it grew into an entertainment district. Its popularity is still maintained by famous small theaters such as Parangsae (Blue Bird) Theater and Hakjeong Theater, and some 30 additional theaters concentrated here contribute to Daehakno remaining as the root-center of performance art in Korea. The center of Daehakno, Marronnier Park, has frequent live performances or dance performances by young people. This is the reason Daehakno is called the “Play Mecca” or “Young Street” as well. Another reason Daehakno became so popular with young people are the various interesting sights and foods to be found here. Many restaurants, fast food joints, cafes, and bars are concentrated here, making it convenient for people to find something to do after plays and live-performances. Its unique atmosphere and space continues to be beloved by many young people. Source: english.tour2korea.com
