It features attractions such as the quarry 'Changsin-dong Cut Slope,' a trace of painful history, the 'Stationery & Toy Market & Aquarium Shopping Center' that opens at dawn, and the living Sewing Street Museum where the sounds of sewing machines and radio music can be heard throughout the neighborhood. Additionally, it is an alleyway associated with national painter Park Soo-keun and media art pioneer Nam June Paik, and is famous as a filming location for the movie Parasite.
◎ Travel Information to Experience the Charm of Hallyu - Movie <Parasite> On the day the Ki-taek family returned home, the pouring rain flowed fiercely in streams. The narrow and steep stairways of Changsin-dong's alleyways served as a good backdrop to visually represent the precarious state of the Ki-taek family, as if they might fall. Changsin-dong is a warm and quaint neighborhood that retains traces of the 1970s and 1980s, exuding friendliness in every corner.
