  • Guryong or Guryong Village (구룡마을) is an illegal encampment (commonly called a shantytown) on private land in Seoul, South Korea, on the edge of the affluent southside district of Dogok-dong, Gangnam District from which it is separated by a six-lane motorway.
    It was first created in 1988 by squatters evicted from houses in other low-income areas demolished during the city's rapid development prior to the 1988 Olympic Games, and who came to this area as their last refuge. Since at least 2011, there have been plans for re-purposing the area and relocating the residents, though little progress has been made due to disagreements between officials on the best plan of action. Due to unsafe construction, the village has been affected by a number of fire accidents. The Gangnam government is planning to redevelop the area with new apartment for 7,671 people by 2025. Many of the remaining residents are seniors, some earning less than $10 a day.
    Join me today and we'll explore the labyriths of the last shanty town of Seoul.

    Nice video! I didn't think there'd be a walk-through of a slum in Korea. It seems much more organised than other slums I've seen. It's a bit sad that they have to leave the place that they've built with such a nice community though. I hope the government gives them enough support so that they can have a better future.

    • @SeoulStroll
      @SeoulStroll  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah, I have no idea when the eviction will take place? By the look of it with the enormous construction site right across thr main street it could be only in a few years. I really hope these people will get some kind of compensation or something. 😧😕

      @@SeoulStroll I just read up about it and apparently the Moon government is promising public housing for the residents so that they can reshape the area before 2025 (that's the end of President's Moon's term). It's difficult for the residents however, because renting prices are getting higher (especially because of covid) and they've heard such 'promises' of governmental support before, to no avail. It seems to me that the slum will stay for a while? I hope so.

    Thank you for sharing! I just learned about this place today and its fascinating. Its inspiring to see how people have created such beauty in difficult circumstances. There are beautiful gardens and flowers ...so much green...and beautiful views of the city and the mountains. I'm sure it's not easy, but I'm humbled at how they have created their homes. I saw another video that showed beautiful paintings on all the buildings and its a bit sad that those will be lost when torn down. Ultimately, when this area is developed I hooe these people are able to find even better circumstances. But I have to say ...even though there are areas that are in very bad shape and I'm sure its not easy.....I don't get a bad vibe from this place. Theressomething special about the people who live there I feel and even a sense of comfort. Of course I've never been there so maybe I'm totally off on that, but I really do get that feeling.

    • @SeoulStroll
      @SeoulStroll  3 роки тому +3

      Me too, I know these kind of videos (places) can be divisive for some people as it's has nothing glamorous to show and it's never cool to show people's misery. But I did get a totally different vibe while walking there. As you mentioned, there's some organisation going on and there's a sens of community as well (I didn't show it but there's even a church!). Later I also want to visit the 104 Village, it is another slum in Seoul but the houses are not "illegal" constructions... Perhaps it's the same place that has the murals you were referring to.
      The saddest part of all this (imo) is the huge construction site across the street that is pushing forward. They're most likely going to build luxury apts.

    Everyone still living there are usually very old and without family ties. Their age prevents them from getting any meaningful job opportunities to make a living. (government pensions/aid are just barely enough to get by)
    The young have all left the place to start their own lives, and the parents who manage to get support from their children also leave the place. That's the reason you see so many abandoned homes.
