Ssangmun-dong

The location has been used in many South Korean shows because the area was once home to a lot of old buildings and alleyways, and is characterised as a place where rather impoverished people live. This makes it easier for writers to establish "rags to riches" stories and to communicate a sense of warmth to the audience and a place with nostalgic quality.^[4] The location was popularized internationally by the 2015 Korean drama Reply 1988 and the 2021 Netflix series Squid Game, where it was the home of Seong Gi-hun and his childhood friend Cho Sang-woo.^[5]
