There’s something about Hongdae busking

Busking is a specialty in Hongdae area. Unlike Insadong or Itaewon where busking is not rare, Hongdae busking is known to be cool and new, sometimes quite experimental. Latest trends show dancing and other performances beyond music. These performances often require active involvement of the audience, which could be an exciting experience to those who are fond of such an ambience. But what about those who are not prepared for such interaction? Last year in an uproarious dancing busking, a male dancer grabbed a female onlooker by the hair, causing controversy and resulting in the dancer’s apology.
