It is also an alleyway containing the stories of 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 encounter the charm of Hallyu - Movie <Parasite> On the day the Ki-taek family was returning home, the pouring rain flowed fiercely in streams. The narrow and steep stairs of Changsin-dong's alleyway served as a good backdrop to visually represent the precarious state of the Ki-taek family. Changsin-dong is a warm and quaint neighborhood where traces of the 70s and 80s can be felt, with friendliness seeping into every corner.
