About this place
Often called the 'Brooklyn of Seoul,' Seongsu-dong has masterfully transformed from a gritty industrial district of shoe factories and warehouses into the city's trendiest hub. This unique history is visible everywhere, as old red-brick buildings now house chic cafés, independent designer boutiques, and contemporary art galleries. Adjacent to this urban playground is Seoul Forest, a sprawling ecological park offering a tranquil escape with its lush greenery, deer enclosure, and scenic walking paths. The synergy between the revitalized industrial aesthetic and the natural beauty of the park creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. It's no wonder the area is a favorite filming location for K-dramas and a hotspot for major brand pop-ups and celebrity sightings. For the perfect day, start with a relaxing stroll through Seoul Forest, then get lost in Seongsu's streets to discover hidden-gem cafés and artisan shops. The area is best explored on foot from Seoul Forest Station.
