Dongdaemun, Seoul, a city that never sleeps | A little tipsy with soju, the streets are bustling until dawn

Dongdaemun is brightly lit at night. It is not only a shopping paradise, but also a place for night owls to linger. From clothing wholesale markets to trendy shopping malls, every building is like a city that never sleeps, flashing neon lights and inviting people to come in and explore. And when the shopping mall closes, the nightlife is just beginning.

Walking into a small alley, I found a lively Korean pub hidden inside.
I pushed open the door and the air was filled with the aroma of soju and barbecue. People in the store were drinking and talking and laughing. Some had just got off work and were hanging out with colleagues, while others were travelers, like me, enjoying the late-night atmosphere of a foreign country.


Looking at the busy streets outside the window, this feeling is particularly charming.

Even in the middle of the night, young people gathered on the roadside, drinking beer from convenience stores, chatting and laughing, as if this city would never get tired. I strolled in this atmosphere, feeling like I had become a part of this city that never sleeps, enjoying the feeling of freedom.

If I come to Seoul next time, I will definitely come back here
