Things happen fast these days in central Seoul’s multicultural neighbourhoods like Haebangchon and Gyeongnidan.
The past couple of years have seen many heartbreaking closures. Businesses there do not sink or swim based on profitability or customer demand, but on landlords’ whims. Some laws protect their right to do business in a space for 10 years, but in many cases, not a day longer.
At the same time, new establishments are opening up, sometimes right in the same spaces.
Here are some of the hottest to check out.
Perch
Perch opened in late 2023, in a space inside a corner of Sinheung-ro, across the street from the former location of Hair of the Dog. It is a cosy place, offering indoor and outdoor seating.
