About this place
Nestled on the slopes of Naksan Mountain, the Ihwa-dong Mural Village (이화동 벽화마을) is a charming labyrinth of steep staircases and narrow alleyways transformed into an open-air art gallery. Originally part of a 2006 public art project to revitalize the old neighborhood, it has recently gained international fame thanks to a striking mural inspired by the global hit series, "Squid Game." This specific wall vividly portrays the iconic pink-suited guards and the unnerving "Red Light, Green Light" doll, making it an unmissable photo spot for fans. Visitors flock here to capture their own viral moments, posing against the dramatic artwork. As this is a residential area, it's crucial to be respectful and keep noise levels low. For the best experience and fewer crowds, try visiting on a weekday morning. After snapping your shot, be sure to wander through the rest of the village to discover countless other whimsical murals and sculptures, then continue up to Naksan Park for breathtaking panoramic views of Seoul.
