[Travel in October – November 2025]
Haebangchon’s Sinheung Market is one of the latest trendy spots in Seoul, and it’s easy to see why. What used to be a quiet, local market has slowly transformed into a lively, creative space where young people love to hang out. Over the years, the market has collaborated with different brands, and right now it’s paired with Coca-Cola, adding a fun, modern twist to the traditional streets.
For K-drama fans, there’s another reason to stroll through this market; it’s a filming location for the Netflix series “Can This Love Be Translated?” Walking along its alleys, I couldn’t help but imagine following in Kim Seon Ho’s footsteps, soaking in the same streets he wandered on screen.

For me, Sinheung Market is more than just food and shopping. It’s a mix of old Seoul charm, youthful energy, and little surprises around every corner. Whether you’re here for a casual walk, a caffeine stop, or just to feel the vibe of this trendy neighborhood, it’s a place worth exploring slowly, letting the streets tell their own story.
The entrance, also tells a lot of story!
