Alleys of Changsin-dong

창신동골목길 · Seoul · Neighbourhoods & streets

K-movie <PARASITE> - A town full of nostalgia · On the day Kitaek's family returned home, the torrential rain flowed ferociously in streams. The alleys of Changsin-dong, with its narrow and steep stairs, were a good backdrop for visually representing the condition of the Kitaek’s family, who were about to fall. Changsin-dong is a warm and charming neighborhood where traces of the 70s and 80s can be felt.
