Yeonnam-dong (Korean: 연남동) is a dong (neighbourhood) of Mapo District, Seoul, South Korea.[1][2] The neighbourhood that was once simply a home to locals, has now emerged into a trendy location for many aspiring artists and designers.[3] As more unique shops and cafes began to fill the streets and alleyways, the area gradually became a very popular area for young university students and tourists. The most popular attraction in Yeonnam-dong is Gyeongui Line Forest Park where the Gyeongui Line train formerly ran before it was moved underground.[4]
