Anonymous excerpts, translated where noted.
“It felt lively, artsy, local, lots of shops, and somewhat less touristy than myeongdong or hongdae.”
“Shop small from 30+ local vendors, enjoy live music, and participate in giveaways!”
“A mall is supposed to be a place where you can escape the heat and “get out””
“Big, safe, climate controlled, and social. Why would people not walk in there?”
