Itaewon - From the most bustling "entertainment" neighborhood to the obsession of Korea

In the past few days, the name Itaewon has been mentioned as a tragic obsession by the stampede incident on Halloween night, causing more than 150 people to die forever. However, this place is in fact a place worth visiting, extremely bustling and full of colors of young life, a symbol of freedom and freedom.

In fact, Itaewon is the first special tourist area in Seoul, designated in 1997. This is also a place with a lot of foreign tourists and is one of the largest West streets in Seoul.

Previously, Itaewon had a bad impression in the eyes of many people, but in the past 10 years, the image of this place has changed significantly. More diversified and healthier businesses make the neighborhood attractive to residents and tourists from all over the world.

It is said that, in Seoul, if you want to see and enjoy a variety of foods and drinks from all over the world but not from other countries, Itaewon is the choice that cannot be more suitable.

Itaewon is known as the "sleepless" street. The image that is always seen in Itaewon is close to the restaurants and bars serving all night. Because what makes Itaewon "brand" is also thanks to "eating culture" with eye-catching advertising signs, neon lights stretching the whole road.

At night, the new Itaewon becomes more "fun" in the eyes of visitors because the neighborhood will be more lively and bustling than ever with a series of bars and clubs. When the rest of the capital Seoul fell asleep, Itaewon still woke up thanks to the congratulation, the drunken meals of hundreds of tourists. If you are a person who likes to socialize and meet people, this place is extremely suitable as you will meet travelers from all over the world.

Itaewon Western Quarter is also considered a diverse shopping area that attracts thousands of visitors. This place is also ranked in the list of the most crowded shopping areas in the city.

Since the success of the movie " Itaewon Class", there have been many interesting effects when the Itaewon neighborhood - the main setting of the film became the second most popular tourist destination in Seoul. After the film was released with many scenes of the bustling entertainment district, the number of Korean and foreign tourists came unexpectedly. The film focuses on exploiting Korea's "drinking culture" and this is also the foundation for popular eateries and pubs in the Itaewon neighborhood. So in addition to Hongdae, this neighborhood also makes domestic and international tourists curious and come to experience it when traveling to Seoul.

It can be said that this movie is one of the factors that makes Itaewon neighborhood more famous than ever, attracting more and more visitors from all over the world. Many international visitors to Seoul have considered Itaewon as one of the "must visit" places.

Danbam restaurant in the series also becomes an ideal place for tourists to visit Itaewon area. Those who are interested in the movie are always excited to come to the backstage to see this famous restaurant in its entirety.

Not only crowded, Itaewon also has very poetic and peaceful corners. Enthusiastically put on screen by the film, these corners are becoming an ideal location for tourists to come to "virtual living".

Also in this movie, followers also discovered a Vietnamese restaurant right on the street, making people extremely confused. Specifically, at the end of episode 6, the main character looked out in front of the restaurant covering a part of Itaewon city, when the image of a Vietnamese restaurant called "Toi Garlic" suddenly entered the frame. After "hunting" for the restaurant's information, fans also know that this is a pretty famous restaurant among Vietnamese restaurants in Seoul. The menu of "Toi Garlic" includes many familiar Vietnamese dishes such as Hanoi noodle soup, Southern beef noodle soup, Hanoi bun cha, banh xeo, banh mi...

One more surprising thing is that in the past, Itaewon was known as the Western Quarter, mainly for foreigners. Koreans do not usually come here, but after the film's great effect, tourists and locals returning to Itaewon also increased sharply.

After the stampede event caused more than 150 people to die permanently in Itaewon, this place suddenly covered with a color of mourning and sadness. Perhaps in the future this place will still have its inherent bustle and excitement and the color of life will continue. But the pain in the hearts of many Koreans will not be relieved.
