DONGDAEMUN DESIGN PLAZA - SEOUL FASHION WEEK F/W 2015


DONGDAEMUN DESIGN PLAZA (DDP) EDITION
SEOUL SOUTH KOREA

The origin of this concept is the perceived need of architecture to allow people to imagine what they could not before. The DDP will realize the public character and design objectives by pursuing spatial flexibility of a building and park that are associated with the flow of liquid. At the same time, the DDP will serve as an educational resource for designers and the public as well as an architectural edifice that adjusts to ongoing cultural changes.

By Zaha Hadid 

Architect: Zaha Hadid (http://www.zaha-hadid.com)

HONGDAE STREET PERFORMANCES, MARCH 2015


HONGDAE UNIQUE STREET PERFORMANCE 
MARCH 2015

Ever wonder what to do on Friday night in Seoul? Well, head to Hongdae (Hongik University) people!!

Back in 2011, my first trip to Seoul, South Korea was amazing and we stayed a beautiful guesthouse in Hongdae. During that year, there are few street performances and there were incredible. Now in 2015, personally i can't even count the number of street performances!! It has increased perhaps more than 15 Band!! BRAVO ^^

Sing and Dance!!! They kill it ^^

Some of them even dance in a funny way to entertain the audience which i think pretty creative to capture more people to watch the show after a long day of work, school, university, traveling and maybe shopping !! Hehehe

They start performing perhaps around 4pm or earlier to late night!! 

So, we watched most of the show but managed to snap a few of the performances!


Talented Boy Band 


The Dance Group - Girls



They Dance too!! Girls and Boys ^^





My personal favourite ^^ Well, i love guitar!! 


The Dance team 


Jumping Jumping, Everybody!! Yes, the funniest among all performances.


Cute little boy try to take over the stage. Hehe


These two girls sing so beautifully! They should be performing on real stage ^^


This guy is amazing too!! He is the last performance we watched around 11 pm something ^^
