NAVER Hangeul Signese Event
Cheonggyecheon Secondhand Bookstore Street in Seoul, South Korea, is the oldest bookstore street along with the Secondhand Bookstore Street in Bosu-dong, Busan, and there were about 200 secondhand bookstores in the past, but now only 25 bookstores remain.
Cheonggyecheon Secondhand Bookstore Street, built in the 1950s, is full of yesterday and today's books, from old books that are hard to find now to books that have just come out in the world.
In the hope that precious Hangeul information will lead to tomorrow, we designed Hangul signs of 25 bookstores in Secondhand Bookstore Street and share them with citizens .
In October 2014, at Cheonggyecheon Intersection Bridge in front of the used bookstore street, we designed booth in the shape of a bookstore in Cheonggyecheon and displayed old books, Hangeul information that were not easily seen from the 1960s to 1990. Through the exhibition, we made citizens feel small fun and nostalgia for old memories.
