KANGKANGEE Arts Village (깡깡이 예술마을)

In the late 19th century, Korea’s first modern shipyard was established, and there are still more than a dozen repair shipyards and about 200 industrial companies in the area. It is said that the name of the village was born from the sound of a hammer hitting the surface of a rusty boat. In “My Name,” it appeared as Inchang-si, the main stage of gangsters, and the unique atmosphere harmonized well with the content, adding to the dramatic fun. There are also many cute cafes to explore, and it is fun to experience a tour program that runs three times a day on weekends.

Most of the people who sell fish are women, so the vendors here are called Jagalchi Ajumeoni, “ajumeoni” meaning middle-aged or married woman in Korean.
