Goodbye to the last moon village in Seoul

You can watch this video at In the most northeastern part of this metropolitan city, there still exists 달동네, literally translated as moon village. Originated from a refugee village in the postwar era, it refers to a village built up on mountainsides, closer toward the moon. People who have been living here mostly for more than 50 years are now to bid a farewell to their home, which will be transforming into a new neighborhood through a redevelopment project. #Moonvillage #Baeksavillage #백사마을 #달동네
