Walking along the street of Seoul, even though in suburb area, there are always shops, cafe or restaurants on the ground floor, (Korean call it 1/F) open til late at night or 24 hours. Not only that keep all your time here occupied, but also the different types of '방's behind the light boxes signage flooded around the city. Going upstair to 2/F or downstair into basements from those narrow staircases directly open to the pedestrian, one can find numerous 방s inside not very big ‘keunseng’, a unique Korean type of buildings. Internal spaces of these buildings are divided into even smaller rooms (방) or partitioned spaces with different functions to fulfill different needs of this condensed population.
