My mom used to live in Ikseondong, we visited her old house once when the neighborhood was starting to become renovated. House was still standing untouched. We visited again about 2 years ago and the house was starting to be renovated into a cafe now. Thanks for covering this neighborhood!
Thanks so much for another great video! I spent a lot of time in these 3 neighbourhoods a few years ago exploring their nooks and crannies. So interesting to really appreciate overall layouts via explanation by Conan of the planned straight street layout as well seeing the views from rooftops and stair wells up high. Thanks again!
Interestingly, the current "Iksun-dong" was also created by a real estate developer. A company bought a bunch of hanoks in the area, turned some of them into trendy restaurants and cafes, drove up the market value, and then sold the rest for make profit. Now it's an overheated commercial area, with fines of about $1.5 million a year for illegal construction, but they rent them out because they think they can make more money. There are two opinions about this developer: that he developed an area of the city that no one else was paying attention to, and that he pushed people out of a small, quiet residential neighborhood into a high rent, commercial area.
In my humble opinion, we should think about what the alternative would've been. The area was already being vacated and under-utilized -- given its central location, would it have been able to withstand the economic pressure of redevelopment as it was then? The reality may be that the commercialization of Ikseondong - led by Ikseon Dada and others - created the competiting commercial interest and economic value for the area that the authorities could not simply raze down.
@@taekim2378 I agree. In the past, there have been both attempts to redevelop the area and the desire to preserve the hanok. However, in Iksun-dong, the government is now trying to preserve the area rather than redevelop it. Commercialization of Iksun-dong may not be the best option for preserving the area, but it is a good next best option. Thanks for your opinion. Your comment made me look at this from a different perspective.
There is a working cafe in that neighborhood with the same exact view at 7:20 called Teong, highly recommend for anyone camping out on a laptop who likes a good view (like me). Also, love these videos! So unique and I think its important to know about the history of wherever you are... lots of cool stuff here. Keep up the good work :)
Unnidong 111- betwen when the Japanese police grounds and the cultural centre used to be, was my grandfather’s home. He re-established his bonkwan there, after becoming an IDP from North Korea. He used to say he literally lived inside Unhyungung.
This is fascinating. I've been there twice before and after it got famous, but I didn't know any of the history you shared to us. That 2.8m street gives all the charm squeezing ourselves to walk past another passerby, exchanging eye contacts, strolling slow cuz you can't get ahead of one another. It then allows us a longer moment to see the courtyards, smell breads and hear other's convo. The beauty of Ikseondong lies in its own scale.
Bart. Thanks to you, I learned historical facts about the streets of Seoul that I didn't know about. You also won an award at the Broadcast Criticism Society, so the content and structure of the content is very good and useful. :)
종로3가 쪽에서 주로 일한지 20년 정도 됐고, 늘 다니는 골목길인데도 처음 알게 된 사실이 많네요. 공부가 많이 됐습니다. 영상에도 설명이 나오지만, 원래 익선동 골목은 진짜 별거없는 삭막한 골목길이었고 종로3가역 5호선 출구에서 골목 안으로 한 30미터 정도 안에 있는 고깃집들만 저녁에 좀 북적이는 정도였었는데요. 요새는 평일 일상시간에도 진짜 관광객이 많습니다. 청와대-북촌-인사동-익선동 코스에서 관광하다가 종로4가-광장시장으로 넘어가거나 혹은 그 반대코스로 넘어오거나 하는 관광객들이 코로나 이전에 "어랏? 꽤 많네..." 수준이었는데, 코로나 종식 이후부턴 진짜 체감할 정도로 늘었습니다.
Ich muss ja sagen, kaum waren wir nach Ikseon-dong eingebogen, waren uns die Menschenmassen schon zu viel. Vorher waren wir an einem kaum zu wiederstehenden Kaffeeduft vorbeigekommen, zu dem wir dann direkt zurück gegangen sind. Fast einen Stunde warten um einen überteuerten Kaffee und ein Dessert in Ikseon-dong zu bekommen, lohnt sich nicht wirklich. Wir sind wahrscheinlich einfach nicht die Typen von Touristen dafür.😅
Who is this guy -would have loved to know him when I lived in Seoul. I am visiting Seoul now -last time was before covid hit and it is sad so many areas in Jongro r disappearing and tall housing, hotels and buildings r coming up. Great video. Btw the female entertainers R NOT Korean Gaeshas!
There are lots of tourists here, yes, but there are also many, many interesting things to uncover there if you make the effort!! Most historically significant urban sites are like that. But yes, focus on Jamsil if baseball is your thing!

매번 감사하고 고맙습니다 잘보고갑니다
너무 감사합니다!
저렇게 빠삭한 분이 함께하시니 영상이 더욱 탄탄해지네요 허~
익선동을 힙한 장소로만 생각했는데 역사적인 의미와 이야기가 있는 곳이었네요. 이번 영상도 정말 좋습니다. 감사합니다😊
익선동이 한때 궁이었고 정세권이라는 도시개발가이자 독립운동가에 공으로 지금의 모습을 갖추게 된 것을 알게되었네요. 좋은 컨텐츠에 감사드립니다~
Wow, I never knew. I've walked right through this place about 10 years ago.
익선동을 둘러싼 많은 역사적 사실들을 알아가네요! 좋은 컨텐츠 잘 봤습니다.

Ha! The Korean "planned city" concept goes back into history further than I would have imagined!
Yeah at 12:40 you can really see it
마지막 카페 루프탑 너무 좋네요
Can’t wait for Nagwondong!!
7:14 이 건물은 운현궁 양관이라는 곳인데 현재 덕성여대와 관련있다고 합니다.
와 한복집과 점집들이 많았던 이유가 맞은편 요정 때문이었다니 완전 꿀잼정보네요
와우~~ 20년전 사무실이 수운회관에 있어서 영상 보니 기억이 새록새록 납니다. ㅎ

작년 일주일정도 한국 방문했을 때 익선동에서 지냈는데 길들이 눈에 익네요. 바트님의 영상을 보고 갔다면 더 의미 있는 여행 했을 듯.... 다음에 다시 한번 가봐야겠어요.
보조 출연자분 잘생기고 아는 것도 많으시네요! 설명도 재미있어요

Bart 님도 어떤일을 하셨는지 궁금하지만, Conan 님은 어떤 일을 하시는 분인지 궁금합니다~ 그리고 감사드립니다. 어쩌면 서울시와 대한민국을 대신하는 홍보대사역할을 하시는것 같아요!
