I live in Hongdae, Seoul (see what my apartment looks like over here), and my neighborhood has tons of cool things to do and see. Come here if you’re looking for a salsa club in Seoul, photography lessons or cute cafes in Seoul! Let me know what you think about my hood! 
.____. reading your blog makes me so.. jealous!! lovely place you got!!
Yea, come hang out next time
unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy Hongdae as much as I wanted when I came to Seoul but I really liked it(I still had time to go to this famous white luxury noraebang
)!!’Hope to come again one day!!!^^
Hey, my girlfriend is looking to move into a place in Hongdae similar to what you have. Do you know of any trustworthy 부동산’s around the area (합정 works too).
Also, when you went apartment hunting did you go by yourself or did you have a local accompany you? I’m Gyopo but my Korean makes me sound like a foreigner and my girlfriend isn’t Korean so… any tips? Time sensitive so, any tips would appreciated. Thanks!
sorry for the late response. I went to the real estate agencies by myself. I don’t believe any real estate agency would try to swindle you. They might be a bit pushy to get you to sign, but most will try their best to show you a place you like. If they don’t got it, they’ll tell you straight.

We’ve been staying in Hongdae for a few days now. Such a nice place to stay in! I like the bars and restaurants here!
hope to visit you in hongdae one day…
Any recommendations for a bar with live music? Not a club? I was in Hongdae last weekend, but I couldn’t find anything like that. Got there around 10pm and there weren’t even any street performers.
Nice blog dude…I’m also a gyopo who lives in hongdae lol
Where u usually chill? Come out to Zen bar sometime lolol
You live where the party’s at (; haha
Well, maybe shame on me but I didn’t know Hongdae before your video but it looks like a really nice place. For me, it’s a perfect explain let me explain why: I love music, and to sit in a cafe…read a book or to be on a computer ( like I used to do in each starbucks
), to be in quiet place but I’m a city girl too and to see people hang out, to hang out with my friends.
I would like to come in Korea ( for soon ) and now I know that I can come to hongdae and I’ll like it^^ So thanks for your video!
Awesome!!! Gotta explore more into Hongdae in my next visit, probably in November this year. ^^V
I’m looking for that grimey, subculture shit that I’ve never experienced visiting my dad in Seoul every year. I want to see what the underground music and art scene is like. He’s always just nervous about my safety because he only had me 3 months out of the year. But now that I’m 20 I want to explore more. I’m a simple girl with simple tastes and I don’t like to spend a lot of money. Clearly I’m at the wrong blog but since you have a lot of ties to the Korean American community there I was wondering if you knew of any blogs you could refer me to. They’re pretty hard to find via Google.
Try chinchamag.co.uk. They might have what you’re looking for
