In the most northeastern part of this metropolitan city, there still exists 달동네, literally translated as moon village.
Originated from a refugee village in the postwar era, it refers to a village built up on mountainsides, closer toward the moon.
People who have been living here mostly for more than 50 years are now to bid a farewell to their home, which will be transforming into a new neighborhood through a redevelopment project.
