If you thought business and fun couldn’t mix, look no
further than urban Gangnam and the nearby
neighborhoods. On the surface, Gangnam comes off as a
strictly business district with a plethora of

If Myeongdong is the generic meet-up and hangout spot
north of the Han River, Gangnam is its answer for
those on the south side. As evening comes, Gangnam
comes alive with its countless neon lights attracting
hordes of office workers, friends, and couples for
food, drinks, perhaps a bit of singing at a noraebang,
and more drinks. And the smattering of clubs around
also draws plenty of folks looking to unwind and show
off their moves on the dance floor. On weekends, the
crowds gets bigger, the energy buzzes to a seemingly
nonstop high, and Gangnam makes it clear why so many
call Seoul the city that never sleeps.
