Myeongdong Secrets: Episode 6 — Little China Town

Before Myeongdong became a maze of neon and beauty shops, it was something else entirely — Seoul’s first foreign quarter.

In the 1880s, this alley was carved out for Chinese residents, Korea’s very first Chinatown. Back then it was called Myeongnyebang, a place to receive envoys from the Ming dynasty. Over time, that name evolved — what remains today is Myeongdong.

Then came Honmachi, when Japanese colonists took over. Later, Shinsegae arrived, bringing Western luxury. Each wave layered its influence here, turning Myeongdong into a crossroads of power and commerce.

It started with one small street, one forgotten name, and a new idea of what Seoul could become — global, tangled, and never quite its own.

Myeongdong Secrets: Part 5 — Underground Relics

Back in the 1970s, Myeongdong was buzzing with money changers, loan sharks, and music cafés. But as rents shot up, those scenes had to scatter, leaving only traces of what once was.

Hidden below the glossy streets, though, one relic survived. Step downstairs and you’ll find a pocket of old Seoul: vinyl record shops stacked floor to ceiling, stamp emporiums trading in forgotten collections, even stalls where you can pick up rare North Korean currency.

It’s a time capsule of a Myeongdong that’s nearly disappeared—fading memories tucked underground while the surface reinvented itself again and again.

Myeongdong Secrets: Part 4 — Bank of Korea

At the edge of Myeongdong stands the old Bank of Korea, once the beating heart of finance in Seoul. It began under King Gojong, but during the colonial era it became a pipeline draining Korean wealth straight into Japan.

The building carries scars from war too. When the Korean War erupted, North Korean troops looted the vaults—but not before officials risked their lives to move as much gold and cash as possible. Legend says some of it was hidden through secret tunnels, with whispers that stashes of treasure may still lie buried.

This district wasn’t just about grand institutions. It was a jungle of money—stock exchange floors, pawn shops, and loan sharks all hustling side by side. In the 1970s the stock exchange shifted to Yeouido, leaving behind currency changers who eventually gave way to today’s rows of SIM card shops.

Myeongdong’s glitz grew from roots tangled in money, risk, and rumor. The façade may have changed, but the shadows of gold and debt still linger.

Myeongdong Secrets: Part 3 — Shinsegae Department Store

Myeongdong’s skyline hides a landmark with a layered past. The Shinsegae Department Store began life in the 1930s as part of the Japanese Mitsukoshi chain, bringing Korea its very first taste of department store culture. Look closely and you can still spot traces of the colonial architecture in its frame.

After liberation and war, the building became a U.S. Army PX, serving soldiers instead of Seoulites. By the 1960s, Samsung took it over and rebranded it as Shinsegae—“New World.” It wasn’t just a name. The store introduced radical firsts for Korea: female college students working the sales floor, and credit card services that changed how people shopped.

Since 2000, Shinsegae has run independently, cementing itself as both a luxury playground and a pioneer in Korean retail. Behind the gleaming shopfronts lies nearly a century of history—colonial rule, foreign occupation, and Korea’s own drive to modernize.

Myeongdong’s secrets aren’t just in its alleys. Sometimes they’re hiding in plain sight, wrapped in glass and marble.

Myeongdong Secrets: Episode 2 — Honmachi

Long before neon signs and cosmetic shops, Myeongdong had a different name: Honmachi. From 1910 to 1945, this was “Little Ginza,” where stepping into the streets felt like stepping into Japan.

The first shops sold exotic luxuries—milk, cookies, coffee, candy, cigarettes—curiosities that drew people up from the countryside to gawk. In the 1920s and 30s, Honmachi became the playground of “Modern Girls” and “Modern Boys,” known as Honbura. But lurking alongside them were “Stick Girls,” coerced into luring men into the district, often ending in tragedy.

Beneath the glamour, Honmachi was also a site of control. Japanese colonial authorities used the district to monitor resistance movements, with whispers of Tokko secret police hiding behind shopfronts. At the same time, underground activists passed coded messages through ledgers and even restaurant menus.

After liberation, leaders tried to erase the name, renaming streets after heroes like Admiral Lee Sun-shin, also called Chungmu. Yet traces of nostalgia lingered—some businesses held onto Japanese-modern styles and names. By the 1970s, Myeongdong shifted again into a hub of pop culture, buzzing with beer halls and rock bands.

Myeongdong’s history is one of facades and shadows, glamour and surveillance. Today’s photo zones sit on top of these layered pasts.

Follow the series to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Myeongdong Secrets: Dark Origins

Before neon lights and K-beauty billboards, Myeongdong was the shadow side of Seoul. In the Joseon Dynasty, wealthy families lived north of Cheonggyecheon in Bukchon. South of the stream? That was for the poor and outcast scholars.

When Korea opened to the world in the late 1800s, this patch of Seoul was one of the first places carved out for foreigners. Chinese dignitaries set up first, then Western missionaries, then Japanese colonists. Locals were pushed aside, and Myeongdong became a stage for outsiders.

Its shiny surface today hides a long history of poverty, displacement, and foreign influence. This is where Myeongdong’s story really begins.

Think these fish are dead? Nope. They’re jeon-eo (전어), just built weird.

They drift like zombies because their bones aren’t done forming yet—nature’s awkward phase. You’ll only spot them in Korea during September and October.

Locals love them raw or straight off the grill. There’s even an old saying: the smell of grilled jeon-eo is so good it brings the runaway daughter-in-law back home. That’s how powerful this fish is.

전어 시즌 시작. 생긴 건 좀 요상해도 맛은 진짜 확실합니다.

So, I ruffled a few feathers. Even though there are some good things about Nami Island and Myeongdong Gyoja (but nothing redeeming about the Starfield Library), those attractions are over-promoted. They're cliches and indicators that the travel influencer you are following is lazy, lazy, lazy.

I have a few alternatives. Follow thesoulofseoulblog for better more real content from an insider. Consider going to Bukchon Mandu instead of Myeongdong Gyoja. Book a day trip to Ganghwa-do instead of Nami Island so you don't waste your time at a fake French village and an alpaca farm.

A quick rant. You can usually tell when a travel influencer in Korea is full of it. Three dead giveaways:

Starfield Library at COEX. It’s a fake library full of fake books for fake people. Most are Styrofoam. The rest are in Korean. Are you really coming to Seoul to sit in a mall pretending to be smart?

Nami Island. Manufactured tourist trap. Zero real Korean culture. It was built for domestic day-trippers then over-hyped for foreigners. If someone is pushing this, it’s because they’re lazy.

Myeongdong Gyoja. Bland noodles in a gentrified district where the real food scene got bulldozed. Promoting this is like recommending TGI Friday’s in Times Square.

If shallow photo zones are your thing, cool, scroll on. If you want the real Korea—food, stories, and places that actually mean something—stick with me.

The Xef | Hyochang Park Station

Date night win. I slipped into The Xef 더쉐프 Spanish GastroPub for their omakase menu, and it delivered big time. Chef Manuel works with local ingredients and spins them into Spanish magic: crispy paella made with croaker, silky monkfish liver pâté, and steak lifted with earthy deodeok sauce.

The vibe? Cozy, buzzing, and packed with regulars who clearly want to keep this place a secret.

They also serve tapas and à la carte dishes, but if it’s your first visit, go straight for the omakase. It’s the best way to see the chef’s creativity in action and absolutely worth it.

Would you dive into the omakase, or graze through tapas with wine?

Korean Food Summer Series: Convenience Store Oddities

Fake Chicken, Fake Beer, real summer cooling. I raided a neighborhood convenience store and walked out with Korea’s strangest ice creams for the price of subway fare. Think squid-ink cones, corn-shaped pops, and today’s headliner: chicken leg ice cream that looks fried but tastes like cereal milk. For the full experience I cracked open a can of zero-percent Cast Lemon to make an instant float. The result? Crispy-coated vanilla meets lemonade fizz, your brain says “bucket of BBQ,” your tongue says “dessert party.” Convenience stores are the unsung heroes of Seoul heatwaves. Cheap icy treats, endless drink mixers, and AC so strong the freezer doors fog. Next time you duck into a CU or GS25 grab something that does not look like dessert and tag me with your verdict. Would you dip fake fried chicken in fake beer or play it safe with a melon bar and milkis combo? Drop your pick below and tag the late-night snacker who never turns down a konbini run.

Korean Food Summer Series: Korean BBQ

Nothing slays Seoul’s swelter like a table loaded with sizzling pork belly and charcoal sparks flying in slow motion. This reel stitches together our favourite tour moments—meat hitting hot grates, fat crackling like fireworks, and guests taking that first caramelised bite with eyes wide. Each clip comes from a real ZenKimchi BBQ tour, no tourist-trap buffets, just smoky Mapo grills and side-street joints where the ahjussi slides over endless kimchi refills. Watch for the quick tongs-flip trick; master it and you turn every piece into perfect bark and juicy middle. The secret is charcoal so hot it leaves leopard spots, not pale grey lines. Pair it with chilled makgeolli and the heat index drops fast.

이 영상은 투어 현장의 생생함을 그대로 담았습니다. 숯불 위에서 지글지글 익어 가는 삼겹살, 터지는 육즙, 그리고 첫 입에 눈이 번쩍 뜨이는 손님들까지. 관광 코스가 아닌 현지인 맛집에서만 찍은 진짜 고기구이 장면이라 더 맛있게 느껴질 거예요. 맵싸한 김치와 함께 한입, 차가운 막걸리로 마무리하면 한여름 더위도 순식간에 사라집니다. 당신은 삼겹살파인가요, 목살파인가요? 댓글로 최애 부위를 알려 주시고, 다음 BBQ 투어에 함께할 친구를 태그해 주세요.

Korean Food Summer Series: Hwe Deopbap

Tonight’s bowl gets a midnight-purple makeover. Chilled black-rice blend anchors buttery salmon slices, tangy pickled red onions, crisp cucumber half-moons, and bright flying-fish roe. A drizzle of sesame oil and a generous splash of vinegared gochujang pull it all together. Two gentle stirs keep every layer intact; over-mixing turns it to mush. The cool rice stays firm, the salmon refreshes from the inside out, and that sweet-tart heat cuts straight through summer humidity. Want extra crunch? Scatter roasted gim shards on top, then chase the final spoonful with icy barley tea. Team chopsticks for precision or team spoon for speed? Tell me below and tag the friend who would demolish this bowl.

Korean Food Summer Series: Mulhwe ←I spell it this way because “Mulhoe” is a dumb way to spell it.
Good mulhwe arrives as a frosty red slush, never a swimming pool of ice cubes. One spoon and the heat index drops ten points.
Mulhwe basics
 • Raw fish or squid sliced sashimi-thin
 • Chili paste broth laced with vinegar, garlic, sesame, and a hint of pear
 • Served in a half-frozen swirl so every bite is spicy, sweet, and brain-cooling
Quick backstory
 Fishermen on Korea’s east coast mixed leftover sashimi with gochujang and seawater to stay cool on deck. Restaurants swapped seawater for icy broth, added veggies, and the rest is sweaty-summer legend.
Survival tips
Give the bowl a gentle stir so the slush coats every strand of veg.

Add a scoop of rice at the end to catch the last drops. Zero waste, maximum flavor.

A shot of soju on the side turns it into a seaside vacation.

한국 여름 생존 시리즈: 물회

푹푹 찌는 한여름, 빨간 살얼음 슬러시 한 그릇이면 체감 온도가 확 내려갑니다. 진짜 물회엔 둥둥 떠다니는 얼음 동동 대신 살짝 얼린 국물이 있어야 제맛이죠.

물회 기본
• 얇게 썬 생선회나 오징어
• 고추장 국물에 식초, 마늘, 참깨, 배즙 살짝
• 반쯤 얼린 육수여서 한 입마다 톡 쏘는 매콤 달콤 시원함

간단 역사
동해 어부들이 남은 회에 고추장과 바닷물을 섞어 더위를 식힌 것이 시작입니다. 식당에서는 바닷물 대신 살얼음 육수와 채소를 더해 여름 대표 메뉴로 자리 잡았죠.

생존 팁

살얼음이 회와 채소를 잘 감싸도록 살짝만 저어 주세요.

마지막엔 밥 한 숟갈 넣어 국물까지 싹 비워 주세요. 버릴 맛은 없습니다.

소주 한 잔 곁들이면 바닷가 휴가 기분이 완성됩니다.

Korean Food Summer Series: Bindaeddeok & Makgeolli

Seoul’s monsoon season means sticky air and surprise downpours. My rainy-day shield is a sizzling plate of bindaeddeok paired with an ice-cold bowl of makgeolli. The pancake is crispy outside and fluffy inside, while that gentle rice-wine fizz turns thunder into background music.

Bindaeddeok basics: mung-bean batter mixed with pork, kimchi, and scallions, griddled until golden, then quartered before you can blink. Street vendors hand it over still crackling, a little grease shining like a victory badge.

Makgeolli is the trusty sidekick. Milky, lightly sweet, quietly fizzy. Farmhands once drank it for lunch because hydration plus carbs equals productivity. Sip, swirl, never chug. It sneaks up on you like a K-drama plot twist.

Quick history
• Joseon-era workers ground mung beans with stone mills for budget protein
• Japanese rule pushed home brewing underground
• Modern Seoul bars lace makgeolli with honey, chestnut, even basil
• Frying pancakes indoors kept homes warm, so the bindaeddeok-makgeolli combo became a rainy-day ritual

Survival tips

1. Eat the edge pieces first while they are still crunchy

2. Give makgeolli a gentle swirl before pouring to mix the rice sediment

3. Order an extra pancake because someone will ask for “just one bite” then steal half

4. Skip places serving it in glass cups. Go for the plastic ladle and metal bowls. Authentic and unbreakable.

Team Classic bindaeddeok or Team Fusion cheese-kimchi? Sound off below and tag the friend who owes you the next round of makgeolli.

Korean Food Summer Series: 빈대떡 & 막걸리

장마철 서울은 눅눅한 공기와 갑작스러운 소나기로 가득합니다. 이럴 때 최고의 방패는 지글지글 부쳐낸 빈대떡 한 접시와 차갑게 식힌 막걸리 한 사발이죠. 빈대떡은 겉은 바삭, 속은 포슬포슬. 막걸리의 은은한 탄산이 천둥 소리마저 배경음으로 바꿔 줍니다.

빈대떡 기본: 녹두 반죽에 돼지고기·김치·파를 넣어 노릇하게 지져 네 등분합니다. 포장마차에서는 갓 부친 빈대떡을 기름 번들거리게 내주는데, 반짝이는 윤기가 승리의 배지 같아요.

막걸리는 믿음직한 단짝. 뽀얗고 살짝 달콤하며 부드러운 탄산이 살아 있습니다. 예전 농부들이 점심에 마시며 수분과 탄수화물을 동시에 보충하던 음료죠. 살살 흔들어 따르고 천천히 홀짝. 방심하면 K-드라마 반전처럼 취기가 몰려옵니다.

Korean Food Summer Survival Series: Patbingsu

Seoul in August feels like you are simmering in a kimchi pot. My escape is a bowl of milk-snow stacked with sugary treasure. Scoop straight down for crisp, clean bites. Stirring turns it into sad soup.

Bingsu basics: fluffy shaved ice enriched with milk, then loaded with whatever makes you smile. Mango chunks, Oreo rubble, matcha powder, even cheese if you are feeling chaotic.

Patbingsu is the old-school flagship. Sweet red beans, chewy rice-cake nuggets, and a curtain of condensed milk. Classic and balanced, perfect for sharing if you are generous… or demolishing solo while calling it “research.”

Quick history
• Joseon royalty hoarded ice in underground stone bunkers
• Japanese kakigori introduced new tricks during the occupation
• Post-war cafés added condensed milk and cereal
• Today you can grab cup-size bingsu for commitment-phobes or fruit towers built for selfies

Survival tips
1 Keep the layers intact, no swirling allowed
2 Brain freeze is part of the fun, wear it like a medal
3 Avoid tourist cafés charging museum prices, head to neighborhood spots where the ahjumma pours condensed milk like she owns the cow

Team Pat or Team Anything-Goes Bingsu? Declare your loyalty below and tag the friend who owes you dessert.

한국 여름 생존 음식 시리즈: 팥빙수

8월의 서울은 마치 김치찌개 속에 잠긴 기분이죠. 탈출구는 우유 눈꽃에 달콤한 보물을 쌓아 올린 빙수 한 그릇. 숟가락을 수직으로 내려 깨끗한 맛을 즐기세요. 휘저으면 슬픈 빙수죽이 됩니다.

빙수 기본: 우유로 깎은 부드러운 얼음 위에 원하는 토핑을 마음껏 얹습니다. 망고, 오레오 부스러기, 말차 가루, 심지어 치즈까지 가능해요.

팥빙수는 원조 대표. 달콤한 팥과 쫀득한 떡, 연유 한 줄. 클래식하고 균형 잡힌 맛이라 나눠 먹어도 좋고 “연구 중”이라며 혼자 흡입해도 좋습니다.

간단 역사
• 조선 왕실이 암빙고에 얼음을 숨겨 두었다
• 일제강점기 때 일본식 카키고리가 영향을 주었다
• 전쟁 후 카페들이 연유와 시리얼을 추가했다
• 요즘은 컵빙수로 간편하게, 셀카용 과일 탑 빙수도 인기

생존 팁
1 층을 지켜라, 절대 휘젓지 말 것
2 뇌가 얼어붙는 느낌도 재미, 훈장처럼 즐기기
3 관광지 카페 대신 동네 아줌마가 연유를 펑펑 부어 주는 집을 찾아라
