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.

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...

Here's my first attempt a vlog! Insadong is undoubtedly one of my favorite places to play and shop around in Seoul. Plus, it's walking distance from a lot of other really great hot spots in the center of Seoul! + Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madimiso/ + Snapchat: madiredred ♫Music By♫ ●Joakim Karud – Longing – https://youtu.be/4F7gcHJbQe0 ●Soundcloud – https://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud
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...

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...
Insadong proved to be quite the entertaining blend of traditional Korea and gimmicky tourist trap, from handmade ceramics to PSY socks. Whether you're a citizen of Seoul or just visiting, it's definitely worth a visit! Maybe even after a day of touring Bukchon Hanok Village in your hanbok, which is quite conveniently located just across the street! Miss me while I'm gone?

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.

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.
Looks like a target to me.
In keeping breathing running down,
Go back to sleep and wear your frown,
In keeping breathing run you down,
Go back to sleep and wear your frown,
What did you expect?

Contracts,
Fall back,
Make that,
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,
What did you expect?
