How do Seoulites in the spotlight see the city?
They say that everyone in the world is connected by a mere six degrees of separation. And in a city as dense as Seoul, you can find yourself rubbing shoulders with the A-list (or at least passing through the same haunts).

“The K-rock scene is very different from the K-pop scene in Korea, as a colorful variety of bands has driven the movement since its beginnings in the 60s.

The life of K-rock steadily trudges onward on the small stages of Hongdae.”
