Haebangchon
Haebangchon (Hangul: 해방촌 Hanja: 解放村) (Haebang - meaning: freedom or liberation, and Chon - meaning: village) is a district of Yongsan-gu, in Seoul, South Korea. It is one of the oldest towns in the central Seoul, today. It is also known as the town at the foot of the Namsan (남산자락).〔Lee, Sanghee, ed. "해방촌의 새 얼굴 (New Face of Haebangchon)." Photo. Hyejeong Hwang. Nylon Aug. 2014. Naver Magazine Cast. Naver, Aug. 2014. Web. 18 Oct. 2015. ().〕 The neighborhood's close proximity to Itaewon and the Yongsan Garrison US Army facility has made the area popular for expatriates and for military residents. In recent years, the area has become a haven for English speakers from a variety of English speaking nations.〔Shin, Soyoon. "해방촌, 또 하나의 코즈모폴리스." Hankyoreh21. Hankyoreh21, 18 July 2013. Web. 25 Oct. 2015. ().〕 The neighborhood is also home to a significant Filipino, Nigerian, and to a lesser extent, Russian community.
Today, Haebangchon has become the 'new' area in Yongsan to open or establish a new business. It became one of the hot places in Seoul juxtaposed with Itaewon and Gyeonglidan-gil (right across the street of Haebangchon). On the old alleyways up to Namsan, cafes, restaurants, pubs, studios, and bakery are taking up. It is known for its unique atmosphere of co existence of past and present and Korean and foreign.〔"과거, 현재 공존...해방촌 변화의 바람." KTV 국민방송. KTV, 2 July 2015. Web. 18 Oct. 2015. ().〕 Various seasonal festivals such as rock festivals and beer festivals are held around the area.〔
== History ==
It was originally the place which the 20th division of Japanese military had used as a shooting field. In 1945, after the liberation, a government office of the U.S. army took over the place. However, its control didn't reach out to the area and it was taken over by refugees from the North and returning citizens(귀환동포). It was the first start of the shanty town(판자촌). It was known as the town for those who returned for liberation but lost their hometowns.
