From the youthful communities of Hongdae and Hyehwa to the classy, luxurious vibe of Apgujeong, Seoul is a city bustling with countless micro-cultures that contribute to its identity as a whole.
For the past few months, ELLE Korea has proudly put out the series "ELLE Dong", introducing some trending locations to the general public, both nationally and on a global scale. It is hosted by idol Jeong YeIn who adds a familiar face to the thriving YouTube series. In the most recent installment, they explored the streets of Euljirodong in Seoul.
