There's always this old guy that's there that sells makgoli on a wagon or something like that. I always see him around like 2-4 AM in Hongdae.

These are really great videos, thanks for the insight into a part of Korea that I'm not familiar with.

Excellent depiction. This captures the part of the town up the hill very well, especially all the infamous Hongdae Park action. Club Cocoon is horrendous though. The only decent club in Hongdae is M2. Screw every foreigner except the ones helping the Korean girl in video 2. Hongdae is going down hill FAST because of all the foreigners crawling over from Itaewon, which is every fight you saw in this video amplified into one location. I felt like this captured a lot of the negatives of Hongdae though, which kind of sucks.

The music scene here is awesome. One of my best friends in Korea is the singer of a band called The Geeks. They have been playing straight-edge youth crew hardcore for over 15 years and pioneered heavy music in Korea. The scene is so positive and has people from all different groups involved. The shows are DIY in any basement, bar or venue available. We always share food and drink after shows, especially when bands from Japan or the USA come into town.

The street art is next-level, with tagged murals, provocative quotes, rebellious politics, and more. Hand-sewn clothes are being sold on the streets by fashion students. Hand-roasted and imported coffees are for sale up from subway exit 4, and Italian hole-in-the-wall's can be found at the drop of a hat.

There's just a few things missing, as I mentioned. Everything in these videos is the real deal.

That DVD방 next to Baskin Robins........ Fuck.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.

wow nicely shot. do you know from which camera phone?

In the 2nd vid that dude trying to get that girl is clearly a waiter (from the walkie talkie thing on his back). haha

edit: hate to say it but not enough people shuffling..(its maddening how much this song plays at one place in a span of 2-3 hours)

Was fun to see that.

Only been to Hongdae once during nigh-time (last saturday actually). Fun place in all honesty. Went to a bar with a friend that she usually goes to. Quite god damn shocking how many foreigners that showed up though.

And I fucking love the Silent Disco that was shown (the parts where people where dancing with headphones on). Looks so strange when they wear black headphones since they are camouflaged by the night.

Damn that was pretty good, but I must ask, in the scene with the police in the second vid, what the hell happened? Also, were all the people that were completely out or looked like they were incoherent just smashed? (sorry I have yet to experience the night life lol)

Those white guys were probably us military people, right?
I've heard that generally that our servicemen are looked down upon because they cause problems for koreans. (I think I read that in one of rekrul's posts iirc)

you have good and you have bad. I know a few of my friends in the army base in Korea are completely ignorant of Korea and Korean culture. I think one took the taxi for 9 months before we introduced the subway. People don't really like that,

In regards to the former part of your post, I seriously doubt it. Those guys were throwing punches like drunk women.

Yea I'm with this guy. Your friend did a really nice job capturing different aspects of hongdae, but needs more shuffling! I can't count how many times I heard Party Rock Anthem this past winter in Hongdae. Didn't help once Lovely Dovey was added to the mix.

Pretty cool video. It doesn't really make me want to go there or anything, but it was still cool to watch. Actually, the outside park stuff looked awesome, but the rest of the Club shit I could care less about.
if I come without a thing, then I come with all I need @tonightsend

Really good videos IMO. Especially @8:15+ in the second video. Really shows that many of the issues of alcohol abuse that are faced by the US and European countries are just as much of an issue in Asian countries. I think many westerners see Korea as a country of highly educated robot-like workaholics; so interesting to see average young Koreans portrayed in a more realistic way.

The juxtaposition of the drunken foreigners getting into fights and the drunken Koreans getting into fights makes a great point: no matter where you go in the world there are stupid people.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Yes and no. A lot of times it is military, but a lot of time it is "teachers"—especially in Hongdae. Most military isolate themselves to Itaewon or Yongsan. I quote that word because it requires no degree in education, no certification, or related major to acquire a teaching position in Korea. On top of that, the majority of teachers do not care which country they work in, because they work strictly for a paycheck. Korea has the highest paying positions and the highest amount of them available, so many foreigners choose Korea.

+1 shuffling
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.
