Yangnim-dong Penguin Village Craft Street

Behind the Yangnim-dong Administrative Welfare Center, if you follow the penguin-shaped signpost into the narrow alley, a space unfolds where the village scenery of the 70s and 80s has become an exhibition hall just as it was. The name Penguin Village was given because the waddling walk of elderly people with uncomfortable knees resembled penguins. Residents themselves cleaned up empty houses that had been left neglected after fires and collected discarded clocks, pots, picture frames, and other items to display on the walls, creating its current appearance, and phrases thanking for being alive in those days are engraved throughout the alleys. The Penguin Tavern in the middle of the village serves as a gathering place for residents. Various workshops such as leather workshops, textile workshops, and woodworking workshops have moved into the Craft Street, so you can buy crafts or enjoy retro-sentiment upcycling craft experiences where the modern and contemporary coexist. Nearby, modern cultural heritage sites of Yangnim-dong such as Choi Seunghyo's House, the Missionary Woo Il-seon's Residence, and the Owen Memorial Hall are gathered, making it good to look around together.
