Kim Gwangseok-ro, South Korea 🇰🇷

Kim Kwang-seok-ro in Daegu is the kind of alleyway that fills you with art the moment you step inside. The entire street was created to commemorate the legendary Korean singer-songwriter Kim Kwang-seok, weaving his music, stories, and life anecdotes into the alleyways through murals, sculptures, handwritten lyrics, and installation art. The street isn't long, but every step reveals its details. The walls on both sides of the alley depict scenes from Kim Kwang-seok's classic songs, sometimes in color, sometimes in retro black and white, featuring three-dimensional sculptures, iron art, and even illuminated installations. As you stroll, you'll hear Kim Kwang-seok's songs playing from outside small shops, creating a gentle, nostalgic atmosphere that touches the heart. Unlike crowded tourist spots, this place feels more like a small art district to stroll through and savor at your own pace. The alleyways are filled with trendy cafes, handmade shops, and vintage record stores, making you want to wander and stop. The most iconic photo spot is the giant mural depicting Kim Kwang-seok's profile, a popular spot for photos. The highlight of the entire street isn't just the murals, but the way the singer's life is presented in a very relatable way, like listening to his songs while walking through his story. It gets even more charming and warm when the streetlights come on in the evening. People who come to Daegu always say, "This alley is worth it," because it's not glamorous, but it has a lot of soul. #NovemberDestinations2025
