Insa-dong is a dong, or neighborhood of the Jongno-gu district of the South Korean city of Seoul. The main street is Insadong-gil, which is connected to a multitude of alleys that lead deeper into the district, with modern galleries and tea shops. At one time it was the largest market for antiques and artworks in Korea.
In area, 12.7 hectares (or 31.4 acres), the district is bordered by Gwanhun-dong to the north, Nagwon-dong to the east, and Jongno 2-ga and Jeokseon-dong to the south, and Gongpyeong-dong to the west.
Insadong was originally two towns whose names ended in the syllables "In" and "Sa". They were divided by a stream which ran along Insadong's current main street. Insadong began 500 years ago as an area of residence for government officials. During the early period of the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897), the place belonged to Gwanin-bang and Gyeonpyeong-bang - bang was the name of an administrative unit during the time - of Hanseong (old name for the capital, Seoul). During the Japanese occupation, the wealthy Korean residents were forced to move and sell their belongings, at which point the site became an area of trading in antiques. After the end of the Korean War, the area became a focus of South Korea's artistic and cafe life. It was a popular destination among foreign visitors to South Korea during the 1960s, who called the area "Mary's Alley". It gained in popularity with international tourists during the 1988 Seoul Olympics. In 2000 the area was renovated, and, after protest, the rapid modernization of the area was halted for two years beginning that year. In recent years the backstreets of Insadong have continued to be gentrified with cafes, garden restaurants, and traditional pension-style accommodations.
When you’re ready to land a bargain on the perfect representation of your trip to Korea, take a tour of Insadong Antique Street. Wander into small boutique shops owned by locals, followed by a stroll past countless vendor stalls offering authentic Korean goods. When you’re looking for traditional Korean wares during your Seoul sightseeing, Insadong Antique Street has exactly what you need. Centuries ago, it was a place for artists to gather when the Joseon Dynasty ruled; today, you can still find a heavy emphasis on artistic wares, from folk crafts to traditional pottery. True to its name, Insadong Antique Street offers a good number of antique books, costumes, and paintings, some of which may date back over a thousand years. But you can also find more modern furniture and accessories, ...

That was the first thing we ate for the day. 1:58 Lunch - For lunch we wandered back through the restaurants around the back alleys of Insadong, and it was a pretty hard decision to decide what to eat, but we finally settled in on a nice friendly little resta...

Filmed with GoPro + ZhiYun Z1 Pround 3 axis gimbal stabilizer. Come walk around with me in Seoul's famous and traditional culture district known as Insadong! This location is over 500 years old. It was home to many high level Korean aristocrats and artists back in the Joseon dynasty. After the Japanese occupation of Korea, the rich were evicted and the area turned into a market area for antique goods and crafts. Slowly, after World War II, this area became a tourist destination for traditional Korean culture (art, music, dance, clothing, etc.). In the early 2000's, the city renovated the area to its current style with modern streets and building fronts. There are over 100 art galleries, many traditional tea houses, many traditional Korean ceramics and art shops, all condensed in...
In our latest travel video we venture of to one of our favorite areas in Seoul, known as Insadong street (인사동) on a quest to experience Korean culture, buy some Korean souvenirs, have our caricature drawn and sample plenty of Korean street food. The video captures all of the action on the busiest pedestrian street in all of Seoul, South Korea. You'll notice several time lapse videos of the Korean and foreign pedestrians walking down the street along with a Korean man dancing and several other distinct moments. Insadong is one of the top places in Seoul to sample Korean street food and/or witness Korean folk/street performers.

So after many requests, we decided to attempt to film a ‘Day in the Life’ video. Usually we have a full work schedule on Fridays, but by chance our Friday last week opened up, so we had time to film our whole day ^^ We were super lucky too—because it just happened to be the warmest, most beautiful day so far this year! We had a few small errands to run in Insadong, so we thought we would drop in on our favorite patjuk (red bean porridge) place nearby at Samcheongdong and get a bowl before the weather gets too warm :D We want to give a special shout out to to those of you...
http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Seoul is filled with markets, stalls, street food (the Dongdaemun area has 30,000 stores - that's right, 30,000) but two stand out in my opinion for quantity of goods and gold 'ol fun; Namdaemun and Invading with Insadong hitting the winner's tape by a hair. Leave enough time to visit them all and let me know what's your favorite market...
Marie and I did a "Walking Around Seoul" video at the popular and unique Ssamziegil (쌈지길) shopping complex in Insa-dong! This complex was built back in 2004, with the idea to house many shops that contain traditional, trendy and hand-made type of products that represent Korean culture in a blend of old and new. It has everything from hand-made soaps and music boxes you can customize with popular K-pop songs, to natural charcoal-dyed clothing and poop bread. Yes. Poop bread. In two different locations within the complex, as well. hehehehehe Thank you for watching, we really appreciate the support! _____________________________________________________ We are Cory and Marie, and we love sharing Korea with you and hearing all your feedback.

If you have wondered where to shop for souvenirs in Korea, Invading is the place to go. There are lots of shops that sell hand-made products as well as cute little toys and keychains. They have all kinds of things. Some you didn't even know you needed!

Looks like a target to me,
Looks like a target to me,
Yeah!
What did you expect?
I'm not delighted that we've falling behind.
I'm not delighted that we're stalling this time.
I'm not delighted that we're foreign this time.
I'm not delighted.
And I'm inciting,
And I'm inviting,
I'm inciting.

One thing that you just might stand for,
Contracts,
Fall back,
Make that,
One thing that you just might stand for,
I'm not excited that you made up your mind.
I'm not excited that you shifted the line.
I'm not excited that there's nothing that's mine.
I'm not excited, so I'm inciting.
And I'm inciting,
And I'm inviting,
I'm inciting.
I'm inciting.
What did you expect from thinking that men and women
are natural?
Did you expect us to all go down under?
And wash our hands our chance to tell you we got no
respect,
Up with your hands it's just a riot,
(So riot away!)
In keeping weeding burning down,
Go back to sleep and wear your frown,
In keeping breathing burn that whole street down,
Go back to sleep and wear your wear your wear your
frown,
