I am happy to see that the area, Ikseongdong where my bar is developing. I guess I sorta saw it happening. I guess 10 years in Korea it helps me spot the trends. When I started doing food tours about 6 years ago, I was in love with area. I took my friend Robin Lee from the website Serious Eats. I also brought many other reporters. When the infamous house of prostitution that was in the area was bulldozed to the ground, I knew the area would change. 

Now across from me is respectable Korean eatery. Down on the corner is a another beer place and on the other side is my other restaurant. 

Change is good.
