【4K⁶⁰】 Seoul Poorest Area - The Harsh Winter Reality of Guryong's Shanky Town - 구룡마을│Seoul, Korea

Hi friends! Decided to go back to Guryong village after 6 months and see the situation there during winter. Guryong or Guryong Village (구룡마을) is an illegal encampment (commonly called a shantytown) on private land in Seoul, South Korea, on the edge of the affluent southside district of Dogok-dong, Gangnam District from which it is separated by a six-lane motorway. It was first created in 1988 by squatters evicted from houses in other low-income areas demolished during the city's rapid development prior to the 1988 Olympic Games, and who came to this area as their last refuge. Since at least 2011, there have been plans for re-purposing the area and relocating the residents, though little progress has been made due to disagreements between officials on the best plan of action. Due to unsafe construction, the village has been affected by a number of fire accidents. The Gangnam government is planning to redevelop the area with new apartment for 7,671 people by 2025. Many of the remaining residents are seniors, some earning less than $10 a day. 🙏 please subscribe to the channel and push the notification button so you will see the next coming videos also share and like the videos If you like them.
