Walking through the narrow streets of Itaewon, you hear languages from all over the world, smell spices from the Middle East to South America, and feel the pulse of a city that never sleeps. This district in the center of Seoul is considered a symbol of internationalism, openness, and cultural exchange. Itaewon owes its special character to the closeby former US military base Yongsan, which was active until 2018. After the Korean War, the neighborhood attracted many American soldiers, diplomats, and business people, creating an unusually international environment. While other parts of Seoul remained strongly influenced by tradition, Itaewon opened up to the West early on with bars, secondhand stores, trendy cafes, and international restaurants. The neighborhood is also a hub for nightlife, with rooftop lounges and clubs where people party until next morning. Accordingly, you’ll also find many urban artworks here, ranging from small to large and created by local artists as well as international visitors. Here is a collection of streetart, so characters, abstracts and figurative works. For the writing pieces in particular, check out the individual page for Graffiti Itaewon.
