The first time I ever hung out in the Seoul neighborhood of Hongdae was sometime in late 1994 or early 1995. At the time, I didn't realize that a big cultural change was just picking up steam. In this vlog, I take you through the Hongdae streets and talk a little about the area's history, its unique character, and how its changed.
