From Euljiro 3-ga Station to Nogari Hof Alley, Capturing Euljiro's Past and Present... 'Mask Relay Challenge' Popular with Residents' Direct Participation

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Everything done in Euljiro is hip.

The response to the photo exhibition "Memorable Euljiro," featuring residents of Euljiro as the main characters, is heating up.

In the area around 19 Chungmuro 9-gil, Euljiro-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seoyangho), a unique table photo exhibition is being held. This event, running until the 15th, covers the Euljiro-dong Community Center, Exit 3 of Euljiro 3-ga Station, and the Nogari Hof Alley.

On the tables of the iconic hot place, Nogari Hof Alley, the past and present scenes of Euljiro are vividly displayed. This is the Euljiro archiving project, conducted together with Dongguk University’s photography club, Donggurami Team, brought into the alley.

Nearby shops have placed notes on the tables with phrases like "Euljiro is," "What is Nogari Hof?" and "Please share gossip," adding fun to the leisure of a glass of beer.

Among the exhibits, the most popular is the "Mask Relay Challenge," composed of photos of residents who attended the Euljiro-dong village festival "Eulji Juhaeng."

The photos, stretching from Exit 3 of Euljiro 3-ga Station to behind the Woori Bank parking lot, capture the masked faces of Euljiro residents who have not lost hope and smiles despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19. Each person holds a sketchbook with messages of support and sincere words for one another, evoking quiet emotion in the hearts of passersby.

An official from Jung-gu stated that this photo exhibition is a resident-participatory exhibition involving various people from Euljiro-dong and serves as a record of Euljiro’s changes over time.

Meanwhile, Jung-gu has planned various non-face-to-face festivals to welcome the peak autumn festival season, focusing more on sharing, donation, encouragement, and consolation rather than meetings, which received great responses from residents.

Seoyangho, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, "I hope Euljiro will be recognized even more as a 'hot place' through this exhibition, and I look forward to discovering the true nature of Euljiro-dong through this photo exhibition."
