Okin Store is the gathering place of Seochon. This place doubles as a select shop and the studio of Seochon native Seol Jae-woo. There is always something happening here. Anyone can sell handiwork on the rented-out shelves. Artwork by local Seochon artists are on sale alongside independent publications. Seochon Life Mag is printed here, bringing local news from the Seochon neighborhood. This place is dedicated to all things Seochon: keeping Seochon as it should be, bringing locals together to make Seochon beautiful. At the spot where Okin Store now stands, "Yong Game Arcade" once stood—enchantingly, it was in fact owner Seol’s favorite arcade as a child.
