Sindang-dong and Yeouido in Seoul were the most popular tourist destinations for foreign visitors, along with Jeju Island, in 2023 and the first half of this year, according to a big data analysis by the Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) unveiled Tuesday.
The legendary Seoul punk venue Skunk, recently reopened in eastern Sindang-dong, and is hosting a benefit show this Saturday for the Marriage for All Korea cause. It will feature the bands Drinking Boys and Girls Choir, DeadButtons, Dead Chant and Smoking Goose, as well as solo performances by folk musician Seth Mountain and the venue owner Won Jong-hee, going by the stage name Jonny Ruckus.
In Korea, taco is often used as an equivalent term for Mexican cuisine. Looking up the word “taco” on an online map will show the results for Mexican restaurants nearby whether they sell the dish or not. The food, made with flour tortillas, often has Korean-sourced ingredients that give it a very Korean twist. The majority of restaurants here try to adapt the food to local preferences, and many customers, therefore, believe that this is what Mexican cuisine is all about.
