🐸🐸>> Songhae-gil, Tapgol Park, Nagwon Arcade..

Nakwon-dong in Jongno-gu is said to be the area where Mr. Song Hae was based in his everyday life while broadcasting for over 50 years. Because of his strong bond with the residents and his special attachment to Nakwon-dong, it is said to have become the second hometown of Mr. Song Hae, who was a displaced person from North Korea.

There's Tapgol Park right nearby... It came out looking strange because it's a close-up shot taken against the light.

If you keep going straight, you'll find Nakwon Arcade on your right... The musical instrument shops at Nakwon Arcade are quite famous, aren't they~ Back when you wanted to buy an instrument, whether a guitar or a piano, you'd always come to Nakwon Arcade to get it... There used to be so many people walking around with guitars slung over their shoulders. These days, there are a lot of elderly folks gathered in front of Nakwon Arcade... If you go out through the left gate of Tapgol Park, they're deep in games of janggi (Korean chess)... ^^ There are quite a few skilled old masters there~^^ It looks like they're playing for money, haha.

Seeing this familiar building after a long time brought back a lot of old memories. Around Cheonggyecheon — Sewoon Arcade (electronics market), Cheonggye Arcade, and the flower market that stretched all the way to Chungmuro. I remember going to Sewoon Arcade in the mid-90s to build a computer. It couldn't even handle a 386's performance, but back then I paid 1.5 million won for it... my dad bought me that assembled computer, haha.

I walked through the alleys of Jongno 3-ga, drawing up old memories... haha. I didn't get to take many photos. I was so thirsty, so I ducked into a coffee shop!
