I visited Bogwang-dong, the ghost town near Itaewon

The whole town has been emptied for a while as they’re preparing to demolish the buildings for the Hannam New Town Project. The doors to the building are all open, and as you see the streets were littered with trash and furniture.

It was a very interesting walk through the streets but there’s obviously a lot of safety hazards like shattered glass, electronic wires hanging about, and at some point me and my partner both felt this overwhelming dizziness(we’re guessing gas leak?) so we had to leave. But I thought people on this sub might find the photos interesting 🙂

The last 4 photos are a reverse time lapse of the same place: the one I took today, and screenshots of the road view from the past.
