"If you're looking for a chill & artsy neighborhood to explore in Seoul, Hannam-dong is where it's at. This area, nestled near Hangangjin and Hannam metro stations, is the perfect spot for anyone seeking a quieter side of Itaewon. There's plenty of stuff to see and do in Hannam-dong. You can sip on some java at cozy cafes, check out art galleries, and chow down on delicious vegan/veggie or halal food. Plus, if you're feeling adventurous, there are some obscure bars and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. One of the coolest things about Hannam-dong is its unique mix of old houses, mom and pop shops, trendy cafes, modern architecture, upscale condos, fancy houses, and even some embassies. It's the perfect blend of old and new, making for a one-of-a-kind experience. And if you're thinking of staying in the area, would highly recommend it! You'll be close to plenty of halal food & bustling nightlife while still being able to enjoy the peace & quiet of an upscale neighborhood."
