Chungmu Art Center Area Restaurants and Stylish Spots?... Jung-gu Produces Leaflet

From Majestic Jjakkalbi to Japanese Skewers Only Available in Tokyo

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jung-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Seo Yang-ho) has produced a leaflet introducing popular restaurants around Chungmu Art Center called 'Jung-gu Baekmi (百味) Road.'

Recently, around Chungmu Art Center and Sindang Station, various concept restaurants, cafes, and bars reflecting the trends of the MZ generation, characterized by 'experience consumption' and 'SNS sharing,' have been established.

Through Instagram, these places have become well-known among people in their 20s and 30s by word of mouth, including a cocktail specialty bar in Sindang-dong, a pub that seems to have brought the authentic taste of Japanese highballs and skewers, and a jjakkalbi specialty restaurant with large pieces of meat displayed appetizingly in a showcase visible from outside. From long-established shops filled with nostalgic memories to unique cafes and eateries, the area is full of places where you can enjoy the charm of Newtro.

However, there was a lack of leaflets or online content introducing these hidden restaurants and stylish spots, so they mainly relied on regular customers.

A representative from the Jung-gu Cultural Tourism Division said, "Although tourist inflow has decreased due to COVID-19, young generations visiting musicals and exhibitions continue to come. We planned to produce this leaflet to promote nearby restaurants to Chungmu Art Hall performance attendees and revitalize the local commercial district." The district expects that through this, tourism in nearby attractions such as Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) and Jungang Market will gradually recover.

The leaflet is available at Chungmu Art Center and major tourist information centers. It will also be posted on the Jung-gu website and blog so that anyone can easily access it.

Previously, at the end of last year, the district produced the Jung-gu gourmet tourism map 'Jung-gu-ssi Matnareo Ganeungil,' which introduces 24 local tourist attractions and 30 popular restaurants by theme, receiving great responses from alley merchants and residents.

Seo Yang-ho, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, "I hope this leaflet will widely promote the hidden charms of every alley in Jung-gu so that many people can fully enjoy the district's appeal. We will continue to develop various tourism contents linking popular restaurants and nearby attractions to revitalize tourism."
