Olympic Park–1988 in Songpa

Welcome to Arirang Travel Diaries – this week we’re heading to Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, where Seoul’s 1988 dreams still linger in wide lawns and bold public art. We’ll time-travel through the mood of Reply 1988 and channel the underdog Olympic spirit of Take Off as Korea looks ahead to Milano Cortina. Then we’ll slow down inside the park – SOMA Museum and the Sculpture Park, plus the Baekje-era Mongchontoseong – before ending with local eats and café stops nearby.
