Hello, this is Hidden Seoul.
Today, we walk through Bomun-dong, an ordinary residential neighborhood in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul.
The neighborhood takes its name from Bomunsa, an old Buddhist temple located here.
Parts of Bomun-dong were developed as a residential district in the 1930s, when many compact urban hanok homes were built in this area. Some of those houses have survived through decades of change, which is why old hanok can still be found throughout the neighborhood today.
But these are not the large, carefully restored hanok often seen in famous tourist areas.
Many of them are modest homes that have been lived in, repaired, extended, and adapted over generations.
As we walk deeper into the neighborhood, traditional tiled roofs sit beside modern windows, metal gates, small extensions, flowerpots, and everyday objects.
The result is a very different kind of hanok landscape — one shaped not only by history, but by the daily lives of the people who have lived here.
Along the narrow alleys, we also find old walls, small neighborhood shops, low houses, and traces of everyday Seoul that have gradually disappeared from many other parts of the city.
Our walk eventually leads toward Bomunsa, where the quiet streets and old houses meet one of the neighborhood’s long-standing landmarks.
Today, we quietly walk through Bomun-dong and record the old hanok, narrow alleys, and traces of everyday life that still remain.
We continue collecting the memories of Seoul.

영상 후반부 한옥집들이 많은 골목은 정말 잘 보존되었으면 좋겠어요
