Like Seoul, like a foreigner, like the present, like the past, Itaewon Usadan-gil

Local people
Usadan-ro 10-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

Usadan-gil, located in Yongsan-gu, is a hidden attraction in Itaewon, creating a unique atmosphere where the exotic and the Korean, the old and the new, are harmonized. The Korean Muslim Seoul Central Mosque, the first Muslim mosque in Korea, and several halal food specialty stores around it are exotic, and at the same time, the old residential area and alleys remain intact, giving it a very Korean feel. Since the early 2000s, thanks to being tied up as a redevelopment area, young artists and young entrepreneurs have gathered on this road that has retained its old appearance, blowing a new wind. Old shops such as laundry and hair salons that have maintained the neighborhood for a long time, and in the meantime, unique workshops, cafes, and restaurants that have been newly established create a subtle harmony. In particular, the view overlooking downtown Seoul is an indispensable attraction point of Usadan-gil. There are also many interesting places around Usadan-gil. Let’s enjoy a unique trip to Itaewon Antique Furniture Street, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of Europe, vinyl & plastic where you can enjoy analog sound of LPs and CDs, Leeum Samsung Museum of Art, which boasts national treasure collections, and Dokseokdang-ro, which has emerged as a new cultural and art attraction.
