A GAY GUI TO ITAEWON

The gay heart of Itaewon, nicknamed "Homo Hill", has seen an explosn of foreigner-iendly, upsle gay bars, a nvenient lotn.

GAY SEOUL · CY GUI

The clientele is VERY mixed both as to orientatn (gay, lez, bi, straight, other) as well as ethnicy, wh beg the one of the most popular LGBTQ night spots for foreigners Korea. Jongno is Seoul's biggt gay enclave, wh more than a hundred clubs and venu loted the center of Seoul the Nagwon Dong neighborhood to the north and east of Topkol Park (Inpennce Park). But, Jongno is changg wh the tim and newer addns to the gay neighborhood tend to be larger, more open and more ternatnal outlook.

In the eveng, the lan and alleys of this nsely packed, low-rise area, bee filled wh food tents, tipsy salarymen, and thoands of gay men gog to and om their favore havens. But if you're alone, try some of the bars listed below where you'll be at ease wh a more ternatnal gay bar system and iendly, English-speakg staff to wele you.

Korean, English and Che languag are spoken here, so, for foreign visors, 's a good place to get updated rmatn about gay culture Korea. Wily regnized as South Korea’s first openly gay K-pop artist, the sger and actor Go Tae-seob, who the stage name Holland, starred a BL drama last year and believ that the growg visibily of BL books, TV seri and movi is a posive step.

Bdette, who also intifi as gay and is a longstandg BL fan, said the genre will shake up nservative views on genr and sexualy South Korea. “Whether you are a heterosexual woman tryg to ject your sexual tonomy to the world, or you are a gay man who wants to see posive reprentatns of male-male romance, BL n be ed, ” he said.

In his early 20s, after leavg bs school to follow his ambn of beg an artist and performer, Heezy Yang was drawn to an out-of-the-way area of Seoul’s Itaewon district known as Homo Hill, a longtime haven for LGBTQ people South Korea.

Nowadays, those lights are off, the bars and nightclubs are closed and the ually buzzg streets are uncharacteristilly quiet after a ronavis clter wh more than 130 s shed unwanted attentn on the neighborhood—sparkg a surge homophobia, activists say. One newspaper, the Km Ilbo, garnered cricism for articl that ed language pictg gay men as promiscuo and prone to risky sexual behavr. Activists argued that the newspaper unnecsarily highlighted that the ial subject of the outbreak vtigatn had vised a gay club an effort to stir up homophobia.
