The Hongdae (Hangul: 홍대; Hanja: 弘大) is a region in Seoul, South Korea near Hongik University, after which it is named. It is known for its urban arts and indie music culture, clubs and entertainments. The area is located in Mapo-gu in the western end of Seoul, stretching from Seogyo-dong to Hapjeong-dong
The Hongdae area is known as a trendy cafe and nightlife area for students and is well known for its indie scene, urban street arts, and underground musicians. Many known bands like Jaurim, Crying Nut and Peppertones are from this street and started as indie bands. The area provides street art festivals and performances, as well as music concerts by independent artists and mainstream entertainers.
Under the influence of Hongik University (Hongdae) which is well known for its prestigious art college, the neighborhood was built on a foundation of artistic souls since the 1990s. In the early days, thanks to then-cheap rent, budget musicians and street artists started moving into the ateliers of the Hongdae area. Many have transformed now into cafes or live music venues and the area has a reputation as the mecca of urban arts and underground club culture.
Like other multi-cultural metropolitan areas, Hongdae Street is undergoing gentrification. However, despite the recent explosion of upmarket brand shops that pushes artists to move toward the southern area near Hapjeong Station, the street still enjoys a reputation as the city's prime spot for indie musicians. Many live music venues and festivals draw revelers from a wide range of visitors. YG Entertainment, the major K-pop agency is also located near the street.
Apart from indie art culture, Hongdae is also home to independent clothing stalls and vintage shops.[5] As well, there are kitschy and eclectic theme cafes for characters and pets.[6] In 2016, Hongdae was ranked one of the most unique neighborhoods in the world.
During early 1990s, students from the College of Fine Arts at Hongik University began to decorate the streets, walls, and roads around the college. Their efforts were soon joined by many artists from across the country and the first 'Street Art Festival' was held in 1993.[10] Every year, students of Hongik University and neighbor artists join to produce diversity of visual arts on Hongdae streets like graffiti wall painting, installation arts and performances
Hongdaeap Artmarket Freemarket'[11] is held on 'Hongdae Playground', that is in front of the main gate of Hongik University. It holds on weekends, from March to November at 13:00 to 18:00 by the host of the nonprofit organization 'Living and Art Creative Center (일상예술창작센터)'[12] since 2002. The flea markets are called Free Market on Saturdays and Hope Market on Sundays. They are fledgling craft markets of things made by students and street artists.[13][14][15] Other culture markets have been influenced by this original playground Freemarket and open randomly around the Hongdae area.
Namdaemun Market is a large traditional market in Seoul, South Korea. The market is located next to Namdaemun, the Great South Gate, which was the main southern gate to the old city.[1] It is the oldest and largest market in Korea
Namdaemun Market is one of the oldest continually running markets in South Korea, and one of the largest retail markets in Seoul.[6] The streets in which the market is located were built in a time when cars were not prevalent, so the market itself is not accessible by car. The main methods of transporting goods into and out of the market are by motorcycle and hand-drawn carts. It occupies many city blocks, which are blocked off from most car traffic due to the prevalence of parking congestion in the area. The market can be accessed by subway or bus; the location is within a 10-minute walk from Seoul metropolitan station and is even closer to the subway Hoehyeon Station, Line 4.
Much of the market is outside, but there are also many stores which line the streets. Many retailers buy their items, particularly clothing, at wholesale prices at Namdaemun, to resell in their own stores in other cities. Namdaemun is a popular tourist attraction.[3] The Market is on the Seoul list of Asia's 10 greatest street food cities for the hotteok

Amazing day at the beautiful Free Art Market in Hongdae, Seoul. Definitely one of my favorite experiences since arriving in South Korea. I felt like it was one big party especially because of the live music.

Hongdae Free Market
This past weekend I ventured over to the Hongdae Free Market in Seoul. I really like it. There's plenty of artists to check out. They're all very nice too. :) It's inspiring! I want to make cool stuff like them.
I really recommend checking it out if you're in Seoul on a Saturday. Plus Hongdae itself has some really nice shops, cafes, and restaurants anyway. You can easily spend a big chunk of your day there.
You can find info here: freemarket.or.kr (Korean only).

Artist at Hongik University (Hongdae) Saturday Flea Market, Seoul 弘益大学星期六跳蚤市场
My Blog: --- With its hair-braiding stalls, tarot-card readers, handmade jewellery, hand-painted hats and T-shirts, appliqué bags, fans with a political message and soap made from rice and honey, this small Saturday market in the park outside Hongik University has a '60s Woodstock feel. Singers and pasty-faced magicians put on shows in the entertainment corner. (Review from Lonely Planet)

Seoul Vlog: Hongdae Selfie Cafe, Namdaemun Kids Market, Art Auction!
** Please expand the description box for itinerary & music details**

October 3, 2015
This was our second to last day in Seoul for the trip and our last day of vlogging. (We didn't vlog our final day in Seoul (Oct. 4) because we just ran a few errands and met up with family for one last meal.) High on our agenda for the day was visiting Caface, a selfie cafe in the Hongdae neighborhood. You choose a drink then take a seflie in a photo booth using the mobile phone provided by the cafe. The selfie is then printed in the foam on the top of your drink!
You have to pay 2,200 won (approx. USD $2) for printing on top of the price of your drink. So you should expect to pay 8,000 - 9,000 won per drink, which is expensive. But we think it's worth at least a one-time experience! We sat at the cafe for at least an hour playing around with the foam. lol. The baristas recommend choosing an iced latte for best photo printing quality! We also want to mention that the cafe only opened at 1:00 pm the day we visited. We're not sure if this is their normal opening time, but it's probably best to plan an afternoon or evening visit in case you don't have the time to visit twice in one day like we did. ;)
If you're looking for children's clothes, shoes and accessories, we recommend visiting the children's section of Namdaemun Market, which is accessible via exits 5 and 6 of Hoehyeon Station on subway line 4. We particularly like this market for children's shoes and accessories as well as clothing for kids (approx. ages 2+) but noticed that there was very little for newborns and infants.
We were thrilled to be able to spend the afternoon at the Seoul Art Foundation where our good friend auctioned three pieces of her original artwork. To check out more of her work, visit: jieunjang.com
As always, thank you for watching and happy travels!! :D
