Haebangchon is an area where refugees gathered
and lived after liberation in 1945.
Afterwards, with the arrival of US military units, foreigners and Koreans began to live together, creating an exotic atmosphere.
However, villages formed at high altitudes had poor transportation accessibility.
Due to lack of development, the village became more
and more underdeveloped, and the villagers began to leave the village little by little.
Haebangchon was in danger of disappearing as merchants from Shinheung Market, the center of Haebangchon, began to leave one by one.
At some point, the empty space was filled with artists and young entrepreneurs, and the original form of the market remained. As cafes, galleries, restaurants, etc. began to open one by one, Haebangchon has been transformed into a trendy space preferred by the younger generation.
