From Seoul Forest to Seongsu: walking through a neighborhood that keeps making

Start at Seoul Forest Station Exit 4, choose two park zones rather than attempting the whole site, and spend about two hours between the cultural area and Eco Forest. After lunch, follow the red-brick alleys and handmade-shoe history toward Seongsu Station. This four-to-six-hour one-way route treats pop-ups as optional discoveries, not fixed anchors.
