Store Unttu (Korean for “by chance”) is located in Ahyeon-dong, adjacent to Yeomri-dong. The storefront almost looks like a rice store, but other than not being in the rice trade, Unttu is a tricky place to define. On Facebook, Unttu is described as “a potential site for reconstruction one day, a playground for those who have, by chance, gathered here.” Nicknamed “Peter,” owner Cheon Hwi-jae created this place with his friends’ band for social dining, exhibitions, shows, and workshops. On idle afternoons, Cheon opens this place up as a communal environment for those needing their own workspace. Unttu is now trying out a food menu with experiments such as curry rice and soondubu stew.
