Euljiro

Euljiro and Cheonggyecheon — print shops, retro bars and the hip side of downtown after dark.

Go Now! Euljiro, the Vanishing “Hipjiro,” in 9 Themes—Weekdays 5–9 pm Are Best, Sundays Close the Markets and Print Alleys, and Eulji Myeonok Isn’t in Euljiro Anymore

by

Euljiro is where you watch a Seoul neighborhood change in real time: unmarked bars on the 4th and 5th floors above hardware wholesalers, and a station that passed 70,000 daily riders in 2025 for the first time in 28 years. Here’s the thing: it is also disappearing—the old Eulji Myeonok block is an office site, Sampoong Sangga becomes a park in 2026. Nine themes—sights, food, shopping, beauty, wellness, walks, nightlife, play, art—with only Google-verified places.

The Seoul photographs that stay with people are usually not the famous buildings—they are the unnamed lanes: houses stacked up a slope, faded walls, steep flights of steps. Here’s the thing: these are not attractions, they are neighbourhoods. Shoot in low morning light, work the verticals and the depth, keep your voice down early and late, frame so faces are not identifiable, and follow every no-photography notice. Photographing them has to coexist with the lives lived in them.

Some of Seoul’s metro stations are joined underground, and those passages are lined with shops. Here’s the thing: this isn’t a sight, it’s where locals shop, which is why prices are realistic and there’s something to find—and on a wet day there’s no better way to move around. Seoulog covers where they are, how to buy, and the repairs, lockers and exchange counters down there.
