About
Kim Kwang-seok-gil is a mural street created in the alleys near Bangcheon Market in Daebong-dong, where the late Kim Kwang-seok once lived. Construction began in November 2010 as part of the Bangcheon Market revitalization project, with the Jung-gu Office and 11 teams of artists taking part.
Along 350 m of walls, the murals show Kim Kwang-seok in many scenes, such as serving noodles at a street stall and gazing at the sea, together with his song lyrics and a sculpture. Each autumn, a Kim Kwang-seok singing contest is held around Bangcheon Market and Dongseongno in remembrance of him.
The alleys also have cafes and restaurants known on social media, and the street is a popular spot for couples.
