Now a subculture Seoul neighbourhood and hipster hang-out, Seongsu-dong in Seoul was once an enclave of industry with limited appeal.
Since its trendy transformation, locals and tourists flock to Seongsu-dong, a happening hybrid of street-art, pop up shops with weird and wonderful warehouse spaces.

A cradle of counterculture and the place to be seen in Seoul, Seongsu-Dong is a chock full of cool spots from shipping container shopping malls to cute coffee shops and clothing stores to craft beer brewery bars. It is also home to the the new Haus Nowhere Seoul flagship store and Blue Elephant Square, fine fashion shops which feel more like art galleries.
Still mainly under the radar to most visitors to Seoul, there are also gorgeous green spaces and some village vibes to enjoy in Seongsu-dong, Seoul.
Here is our guide to the top things to do in Seongsu-dong, Seoul in 2026. We last visited Seongsu-dong in April 2026.
This article was originally published on cktravels.com on 22 June 2023.

How to get to Seongsu-dong in Seoul
Seongsu-dong is easily accessible by public transport – nearby stations include Konkuk University (Seoul Subway Line 2 or 7), Ttukseom Station (Seoul Subway Line 2) or the eponymous Seongsu Station (Seoul Subway Line 2).
Alternatively it is easy to take a taxi to Seongsu-dong.
South Korea Hallyu tip: If you have time, weโd alternatively recommend starting your trip to Seongsu-dong by getting the subway to Ttukseom Station and taking a walk through Seoul Forest Park, or by taking the subway to Seongsu Station and start your walk at Common Ground shipping container shopping mall.
This means that after all that walking in the park or shopping, you can reward yourself in one of our highlighted Seongsu-dong cafes or craft beer bars. Youโre welcome!

1. Seoul Forest Park
Seoul isnโt short on superb outdoor spaces but Seoul Forest Park in Seongsu-dong is certainly one of the best.
The third largest park in the city, not only does it have 3,000 acres of green space and ponds to peruse but also several free to visit wildlife areas like a deer park and butterfly house.

Opened in 2005, Seoul Forest Park is popular with locals and widely enjoyed for picnics, recreation and summer festivals – it is also a great thing to do in Seoul with kids, and also hosts the annual Seoul International Garden Show every April to October.
Best of all, there is much woodland and wildlife to enjoy – for us, the highlight of Seoul Forest Park was the deer corral where you could see dozens of deer.
For a better view, you can head up on the aerial walkway which allows both an aerial perspective of the deer plus nice views of the forest and waterways. There is an insect house too plus a honey-bee garden and rose garden.
The most popular spot in Seoul Forest Park seem to be the lawns and seating areas around the main lake – many visitors had brought coffees and treats from the nearby cafes and dessert stores in Seongsu-dong Village.


Shopping in Seongsu-Dong
In need of a bit of retail therapy in Seoul or a fashion fix? From shipping container malls to pop up shops, shopping in Seongsu-Dong is a satisfying experience:
2. Common Ground, Seongsu-dong
Located on the outer edges of Seoulโs Seongsu-dong district, Common Ground could definitely be described as one of the more unique shopping malls in Seoul.
Built out of tonnes of brightly painted shipping container units, this creative and cultural container park is the first of its type in South Korea, having opened in 2015.


Based over three levels, Common Ground shopping mall comprises a Street Market section, a Market Hall and a Terrace Market. We also really liked how it made great use of the space with stores and restaurants both inside and out, across multiple levels.
Flagship tenants and shops at Common Ground include a multi-level Nike store, an Under Armour store, Adidas Originals plus a series of ever changing pop-up shops and events.
Recently, a new Olive Young and Butter stationery store have also opened in Common Ground.
When we first approached Common Ground in Seoul, we werenโt too sure what to expect as all we could see was a bright blue corrugated iron entrance way โ but donโt be put off by first appearances.


Once inside, there are tonnes of super chic and cool clothing shops, sneaker stores plus lots of great geeky toys like gachapon machines and claw machines.
Common Ground Mall in Seongsu-Dong is open daily from 11am to 10pm (some Common Ground food outlets stay open until 1am).
3. Kwangya K-Pop flagship store
This is a must visit in Seoul K-Pop shop.
Located in the basement floor of the SM Entertainment building in the Seongdong District.
(nearest subway station is Seoul Forest Station), Kwangya is a futuristic looking store with a huge array of K-pop merchandise including albums, autographs, photos and lightsticks.


When you walk in, it almost feels like you are on the set of a K-Pop video with lots of big screens, shiny surfaces and even a small stage (kind like a mini version of the K-Pop sets at HiKR Ground in downtown Seoul).
SM Entertainment (which Kwangya is part of) is one of the biggest Korean music corporations representing huge artists such as Aespa, NCT, Exo and SHINEE and you can get their merchandise here.

4. Luxury stores in Seongsu
As well as independent fashion retailers, youโll also find fine fashion and luxury goods in Seongsu-dong.
For instance, the luxury fashion and clothing company DIOR has an epic Seoul store here – DIOR Seongsu. It is actually meant to be a semi-permanent pop-up DIOR store, having opened in late 2022.

DIOR Seongsu is scheduled to stay there for several years – such is the interest and โblingโ of this store, it seemed to be one of the most popular photo-shoots in Seongsu.
5. Seongsu pop-up shops
Seriously, based on our visits in 2023 and 2024, Seongsu-Dong / Seongdong-gu has to be the place for pop-up shops and one-off stores in Seoul.

Almost every street corner or high street had some form of warehouse or industrial unit transformed into a temporary fashion store or bar.


When we explored Seongsu-dong, we spotted around a dozen or so pop-up stores including a big and bold Mark Gonzales shipping container store (SOOOO yellow) chock full of skateboard wear, a Chanel summer pop-up plus even a KODAK photography clothing store.
A couple of beer breweries also set up temporary bars so you could try their new beers – cheers to that!


6. Olive Young N Seongsu
K-Beauty just got bigger with the brand new 5-floor โOlive Youngโ in Seongsu-dong. We popped by in May 2025 to check it out and it is huge!
It is Olive Youngโs biggest branch and is housed in a glass building with 12 different themed zones.

As well as the usual beauty products you would expect to see in Olive Young, youโll also find:
- Pop up exhibition spaces, a small cafe and snack shop
- A โK-pop Nowโ zone (with photo booth and merchandise)
- A โHot & New Express Zoneโ (which showcases K-culture trends)
- โWellness Editโ space (yoga and sleep wear)
- Professional makeup consultation sessions and Perfume library
- Skin and scalp analysis sessions
And itโs not just for ladies! Fellas will find a well stocked โMenโs Editโ section.

Some of the sessions need pre-booking and payment using an on-site reservation system, some you can book in advance online >
South Korea Hallyu tip – remember to bring your passport if you want a tax refund!

7. HAUS NOWHERE SEOUL
Seoul does sunglasses showrooms differently – this is the โspecsyโ AF flagship Gentle Monster store inside the HAUS NOWHERE SEOUL ํ์ฐ์ค ๋ ธ์จ์ด ์์ธ (map) building in the Seongdong neighbourhood.


It opened in September 2025 and is a multi-floor โfuture retailโ concept space. It almost feels like a sci-fi style modern art museum with giant sculptures and robotic installations.

The ground floor has different pop-ups – when we visited in spring 2026, it was a collab pop-up with Disney, maybe they should rename it the Haus of Mouse?!
Other brands inside the building include Tamburins, ATiiSSU, Nuflaat and another Gangnam Nudake cafe.


8. Blue Elephant Square
Opened in late 2025, Blue Elephant Square ๋ธ๋ฃจ์๋ฆฌํํธ ์ฑ์ ํ๋๊ทธ์ญ์คํ ์ด is a must visit when in Seongsu-dong if only to visit the cool cafe space and get-up close to the immersive media art installation called “the Sphereโ.
Honestly this place feels more like a gallery than the eyewear shop it actually is.


Similar in style to Gentle Monster eyewear stores but with much cheaper glasses, this is Blue Elephantโs flagship Seoul store spanning four storeys including a free to visit rooftop garden.
Whilst the rooftop garden is nothing special, the Blue Elephant cafe area is a very happening hipster hangout with cool seating areas and inexpensive coffee and sweet-treats. So even if you arenโt in the market for eyewear, just drop by to see the art and then chill in the cafe.


9. Musinsa Store Seongsu@Daelim Changgo
Weโve mentioned before about how Seongsu-dong is known as the best place in Seoul for pop-ups and the biggest and best when we last visited was a semi-permanent Musina Boutique store, which should be around for a while.
Musinsa is a cool Korean online fashion store and this is their third such physical location store located in the historic Daelim Changgo building.

Showcasing the best of Korean fashion brands and international clothing companies, this Musinsa store was heaving with shoppers when we visited and is famous for South Koreaโs longest sneaker wall plus huge video walls.
At the front of the store, there is also an exhibition section which changes regularly featuring different clothing brands and footwear finds.

10. Line Friends Square Seongsu
Move over Kakao Friends! One of Seongsu-dongโs newest attractions, this Line Friends Square store opened in 2024 and is a fun way to see Brown and Cony in person with lots of photo spots and souvenir opportunities.

Open daily from noon to 8pm, this is a cute choice for character merchandise and just across the road from Daelim Changgo coffee shop.

11. EQL Seongsu Grove
A quick mention of EQL Seongsu Grove, ์ดํ์ ์คํ์ด์ค a fine fashion shop popular with the local youth – such is the layout of the store with various installations and props, it felt more like a gallery than a clothes shop.

Full of Korean fashion brands and international labels, visiting EQL is more of an experience than just shopping in Seongsu-dong.

12. SEVY House
Knitters of the world unite. This Seongsu-dong knitting and design emporium SEVY House ์๋น ํ์ฐ์ค is โsewโ nice, with 7 floors(!) of needlepoint, cross-stitch, colorful yarns and so much more – we donโt even do sewing or embroidery but we were totally transfixed walking around, looking at all the beautiful products.

The first 3 storeys of SEVY House is full of nice knitting and stitching products (free to browse) plus an exhibition whilst floors 4 to 6 are the SEVY Knitting Lounge & Cafe, a cool and comfortable creative area where you can sew and knit while enjoying drinks, literature or music plus several sewing workshops.
The top floor of ์๋น ํ์ฐ์ค is a rooftop knitting garden looking out over Seongsu-dong – fees apply to use the floors 4 to 7.


13. CU Seongsu Dessert Park convenience store
A concept Korean convenience store, this CU Seongsu Dessert Park in Seongsu has custom dessert stands to shelves packed full of Korean and international chocolates. This is a great place for puddings, Dubai style desserts and to satisfy sweet tooth cravings in Seoul.


The store is supposedly divided into four food zones with an own brand CU dessert section, a special dessert zone and a wine zoneโฆbut to be honest, this just feels like a slightly more colorful CU store with an emphasis on sweet treats.
It is ok to visit if you are already in Seongsu-dong but this really isnโt worth a special journey.


14. Jayeondo Sogeumppang (Salt Bread)
Seongsu-dong isnโt short on popular eateries or big queues but we think Jayeondo Sogeumppang (salt bread ์์ฐ๋์๊ธ๋นต) might be the biggest line-up – and for once, this blissful bakery lives up to the hype.
Originally starting as a family run bakery by founder Mr Chun on Yeongjong Island (Incheon), we absolutely adore this Seoul salt-bread, so moist and buttery inside with a melt in the mouth texture, costing 12,000 Won for 4 freshly baked salt-breads โ not healthy but definitely heavenly.

We joined the large queue which went around the block and soon discovered why local citizens were addicted to this sublime salt bread. The salt bread is baked freshly several times a day and there is a display board showing baking times.
There is also another new branch of Jayeondo Sogeumppangat in Ikseon-dong, located in an old hanok style bakery – the queue there is often much smaller than their flagship Seongsu-dong store.
Cafes in Seongsu-dong
Given the industrial setting of eastern Seongsu-dong and the village setting of western Seongsu-dong (Seoulsup-gil) that has leafy borders with Seoul Forest Park, the cafe and coffee scene is perhaps the best in Seoul.
If you havenโt โbeanโ to a Seongsu-dong coffee shop to get your caffeine fix, you havenโt really experience Seoulโs coffee shops.
Some of the best coffee shops and cafes in Seongsu-dong, Seoul include:
15. Daelim Changgo
Possibly the best known coffee-shop in Seongsu-Dong (and certainly the most Instagrammed), Daelim Changgo is a wonderful warehouse coffee shop that is like no other in Seoul.
โChanggoโ is actually Korean for โwarehouseโ and you could quite easily miss this colossal coffee shop if you didnโt know about it. There are no giveaways from the outside as to what to expect inside other than a huge wooden door on the outside that simply says โOpenโ.


Inside, youโll find an artisan array of baked goods and sweet treats plus two huge warehouse rooms with art installations and pop-up exhibitions.
When we visited Daelim Changgo in Seongsu-dong, we found it so hard to choose what we wanted in the bakery section – on offer were amazing pastries like earl grey tea canales or dark chocolate croffins and coconut croissants. Please, just take all our money now!
16. Cafe Onion Seongsu
Very rustic compared to the other Onion cafes in Seoul, Cafe Onion Seongsu feels kinda like having coffee and cakes in an abandoned building.
Where iced coffee meets industrial chic, Cafe Onion is all about the experience – the walls half covered in cement merge into the shabby furniture and exposed brick-work.


The sweet treat selection here is superb and there is so much choice – half your time will be spent deciding which perfect pastry or choice croissant to have.
The Cafe Onion Seongsu also has a rooftop, one of the best aerial spots to spy on Seongsu-dong in the summer months.
17. Perment Bake Shop
Located along Seoulsup 2-gil, you know you are getting close to Perment Bake Shop when you can smell the fresh bread and croissants baking and wafting down the street.


Baked fresh every day, Permanentโs Bake Shops bakery range includes baguettes, pretzels, cinnamon rolls and pain au chocolat (and of course coffee) – we were smitten by their Maple Montblancs (cโest bon)!
If you want a quiet spot to read, work or simply sip your latte in peace, the basement level at Perment Bake Shop in Seongdong-gu is a child free and pet free zone.
18. MARK 69
A warehouse style coffee shop Seongsu-dong village, this colossal coffee shop and bar makes good use of the high ceilings and industrial interiors. As well as lattes and tea, Mark 69 also serves international beers plus has a wide selection of wine and spirits.


19. Useful Atelier
Part coffee shop, part opticians and clothing store, Useful Atelier is a cute as a button Seongsu-dong coffee shop that backs onto Seoul Forest Park.
The ethos at Useful Atelier is that guests should have a pleasant time whilst visiting and not just purchase products – there is also a nice outdoor sun terrace at Useful Atelier.
Given the side-street location, this is also one of the more relaxing coffee shops in Seong-Du.

20. Standard Bread
Sweongu-song has many blissful bakeries but one of the most popular is Standard Bread (there is a second branch in Gangnam too).
Standard Bread ์คํ ๋ค๋ ๋ธ๋ ๋ has incredible theming inside and out, almost like a rustic cottage or farm hidden down one of Seongsu-dongโs side streets.

After admiring the courtyard (complete with pond / bridge), follow your nose and head inside to enjoy freshly baked bread, sublime soups or their signature sweet treats like crรจme brรปlรฉe French toast.
There is also a signboard outside showing which products are being baked when so you can opt for the freshest item.

21. Buerre Buerre Seongsu-dong (closed)
2026 update – Buerre Buerre Seongsu-dong is closed but several other branches remain across Seoul
On our last trip to Seoulโs Seongsu-dong neighborhood, we discovered this (literally) super-cool ice-cream shop (it has several branches around Seoul).
We were attracted by the cute graphics on the Buerre Buerre exterior and the promise of butter ice-cream sealed the deal. We saw a big queue of local (mainly young) Koreans so we thought we had to try this.

Buerre Buerreโs ice-cream is so rich, creamy and buttery and is available in lots of moorish flavors plus seasonal specials.
We had their signature nutty peanut butter ice-cream plus tried their lemonade flavour dessert. As of early 2025, a single scoop with a cone costs 4700 Won at Buerre Buerre Seong-su dong or 6,500 Won for two scoops – trust us, go big! You wonโt regret it.
22. Milky Shop Sungsu Dessert Cafe
โBring me donuts, not flowersโ. Our final Seongsu-Dong cafe is an honourable mention to Milky Shop, a bakery and โdonutโ market with attitude – specialising in cronuts, doughnuts and pie, this American style diner has a small outdoor eating area.

Craft beer bars in Seongsu-dong, Seoul
The burgeoning craft beer bar scene is Seoul is represented well in Seongsu-dong, with a couple of brewery bars in the neighbourhood, both of which have outdoor terraces and cool, modern interiors:
23. Seoul Brewery Seongsu
The newest Seoul brewery taproom and craft beer bar, Seoul Brewery Seongsu opened in April 2023 and is one good looking Seongsu-dong bar.

The Seoul Brewery Seongsu taproom is modern and minimalist with lots of wood, glass and light fixtures โ if MUJI were to build a craft beer brewery bar in Seoul, this would be it.
Hidden in the backstreets of Seongsu, this good looking brewery taproom also does some fine craft beers – this new brewery site in Seoul also sprawls over several floors with the upper levels due to include more brewing equipment, bars and restaurants.

24. Eulreul Seongsu-dong / Brewery Eulreul Seoul Forest Reservation โ Beer Hall
One of the newest Seoul craft beer bars, the Incheon based brewer Eulreul opened a new taproom and restaurant in Seongsu-dong near Seoul Forest in November 2025.
Located across two upper levels above a cafe, what really makes this Brewery Eulreul stand out is not only their beer quality but their British food menu.

From fancy fish and chips to sausage and mash or shepherdโs pie, it was fun to see so many young Koreans trying the food โ and those scotch-eggs looked epic!
However, we were just here for the beer so we grabbed a table on the balcony upstairs and from a choice of over 10 taps, tried a nice IPA and excellent stout (ordering is via their app) โ and to mention the restaurant / bar downstairs was absolutely busy and bustling.
Snack joints in Seongsu
25. Paper Plate Seongsu
A nice place to spend some โdoughโ in Seongu-dong, Paper Plate is an American style pizza joint that sells pizza by the slice, New York style.
If your bored of bulgogi or glum with galbi, this little slice of Italian-American goodness is a great place to eat, with lots of choice.

From standard pepperoni or Hawaiian to more interesting pizzas like corn shrimp or cream, Paper Plate serves up super-sized slices plus hot-wings and fries (best accompanied with draft beer).
One the day we visited Paper Plate, we got a prime window seat and ate our slices of pizza looking out over a pop-up Seventeen band exhibitions which had hundreds queuing up to go in – there is always something new to see or do in Seongsu-dong.

26. Shakeshack Seongsu-dong
New for 2025, one of Koreaโs most unique Shakeshack hamburger joints in Seongsu-dong – the worldโs first-ever Shake Bar!

When we last visited Seongsudong in May 2025, it was raining so we headed to Shakeshack to eat and escape the rain.
The food is good and not too expensive, plus the second floor dining room looks out over one of Seongsuโs main shopping streets so it is great for people watching. There is also an exhibition space on the third floor which will feature collabs with artists.

Other fun things to do in Seongsu-dong
27. Seongsu-dong Korean Photo Booths
One of the most fun things to do in Seong-su (and in Seoul at night), Korean selfie booth stores are dotted all throughout the neighbourhood, especially along Seoulsup 2-gil in West Seongdong-gu.


Selfie kiosks are brightly coloured stores in Seoul where you can borrow clothes and fun props (like vegetable hats, big sunglasses, animal paw gloves etc) and then pose for selfies or take photos in booths for a small fee.
Often these Korean selfie photo booths allow you to print out stickers as a lasting reminder โ popular selfie booth locations include Gangnam, Itaewon, Ikseon-Dong and Hongdae.
Some of the most popular booths in Seong-su are Haru Film (open 24 hours), Photoism, Donโt Lxxk Up and Photo Signature.

28. Get a quirky caricature
Seongsu is home to several quirky cartoon caricature studios including Acorn Caricature, where street cartoonists have set up a studio and create drawings in the 4-cut.

Prices vary but starting at 5,000 Won per person based on a minimum of two people, these are really good value caricatures. Other studios are also available.
Even if you donโt want a caricature while in Seoul, it is quite fun to watch the cartoonists at work as the subjects awkwardly smile.
29. Lucky Pop Seongsu-dong
This is South Koreaโs BIGGEST claw machine and gachapon emporium which opened in late 2025 and has a bright pink exterior so it is hard to miss – this is one of two Lucky Pop Seoul locations, the other of which is in Myeongdong (the latter is much smaller).


Lucky Pop Seongsu has four floors of fun and gaming, and even has a shooting gallery too. We spent about an hour just browsing all the capsule toy machines and collectibles.
Jumping on the Korean โpoppamineโ craze, this is a fun thing to do in Seoul with kids trying to win prizes or buying Japanese gachapon style capsule toys (including some local capsule toys like Kakao Friends and BT21).
30. Kondae Konkuk University Taste Street
Kondae Taste Street is one of the most happening places in Seoul at night – it is full of side-street soju bars, arcades, dive pubs and cheap all-night restaurants, often frequented by the local Konkuk University students.


The whole area lights up at night and is packed with beer bars and restaurants serving everything from local South Korean dishes like pork BBQ (Samgyeopsal-gui), Galbi jjim (ribs) or Onnuriye donkatsu (spicy pork cutlets).
By day, Kondae Taste Street is still worth a visit (it is a quiet neighbourhood to roam around with painted streets and street food) but by night, it really comes alive.


31. Seongsu-dong Street Art
Like many Seoul neighborhoods, Seongsu-dong is splashed with superb street-art from small scrawls in the side-streets to colossal canvases on the sides of buildings.
Even on our last visit, a Seoul street artist was putting the finishing touches to a sublime Spider-man in Seoul mural hidden away in the side-streets of Seongsu-Dong.

The best bit of Seoulโs street art scene is that the alfresco artwork and colourful creations on buildings are forever changing, so you never know what youโll see.
We found the best areas for street art in Seongsu-dong were the side streets off Yeonmujang-gil (this is where we saw the Spiderman street art being painted) plus in the Seongsu-dong Village / Seoulsup-gil area near Seoul Forest Park.
We were lucky enough to once see a temporary takeover of Lowide Coffee Bakery, whereby a mural of Joaquin Phoenix had been painted on the outside of the coffee-shop to promote the release of the movie โBeau is Afraidโ (alas since painted over) – the Seongsu-dong street art scene is some of the best in Seoul.

32. โpaperdollmate atelierโ
One of the most striking stores in Seongsu can be found on Seoulsup 2-gil, where the exterior replicates a dollโs house and arcade claw machine. The delightfully designed store sells South Korean style character dolls, cute cartoon stationery plus illustrated items.

Are you able to advise me on the exact address of the Japanese restaurant with Glico poster? and the exact location of the spiderman street art? I will be in the area and love to see it
Hi Richard, the street art changes all the time and gets repainted over and over again – Spiderman is sadly no longer there. Also I just looked up the Glico man restaurant on Naver for you and it looks like they’ve changed the decor sadly https://naver.me/5DDXVzM3 – things change so fast in Seongsu-dong. I’ll update the main header image on this guide shortly as it is no longer there.
