A nonverbal performance transcends language barriers, with dance being one of its most representative forms. “Step It Up” is a nonverbal performance that uses dance to bridge generations and share stories of dreams and hope, making it an ideal show for audiences of all generations.
During his work, an elderly cobbler, who tediously repairs worn-out shoes, encounters the laughter, tears, love, and farewells embedded within them, including the challenges of a first day at work, the thrill of new encounters, choices with regret, and journeys, in search of hope. Following the footprints of life etched in each pair, memories come alive once more through dance.
“Step It Up” unfolds through six episodes inspired by different pairs of shoes, offering audiences a rich variety of experiences. Visual media art brings each theme vividly to life, while different dance styles in every episode immerse spectators deeper into the performance. From K-pop dance and hip-hop loved by younger audiences, to locking and waacking familiar to avid dancers, and even traditional Korean dance, the show converges an array of genres on a single stage.

Jingogae is a standing store that opened its doors in 1963. Its signature dish is the eobok jaengban (boiled meat slices hot pot), where thick slices of meat are stacked along with vegetables, mandu, rice cakes, and eggs, all boiled together. In addition to this, they also serve dishes such as gejang jeongsik (marinated crab set menu), gopchang jeongol (small intestine hot pot), galbitang (galbi soup), and yukgaejang (spicy beef soup). The spicy and richly seasoned yangnyeom gejang (spicy marinated crab) is also a popular menu item, which when paired with rice, enhances its flavors even further.
⊙ Euljiro Nogari Alley (을지로 노가리골목)
View detailed guide on Korea Trip Guide →
Going out of Exit 3 of Euljiro 3-ga Station on Seoul Metro Line 3 and turning to the alley, you will find many pubs selling Nogari/Dried Young Pollack (Korean people grill and dip it in red pepper paste to eat as a side dish with alcohol) and restaurants specializing in Golbaengi/Sea Snails (It is a kind of conch shell, and Korea people made it a seasoned dish and enjoy it with Somyeon/Thin Noodles or use it as a bar sack). People gather in small groups at every outdoor table and sit in every alley to enjoy beer and snacks on weekday evenings and weekends, so it isn’t easy to find a seat.
Originally, this area was lined with various company buildings and shops selling tools. However, in 1980, the pub ‘Eulji OB Bear’ opened, and as similar pubs opened nearby, it naturally came to be called ‘Euljiro Nogari Alley.’ As the affordable prices of snacks and beer attracted nearby office workers and college students, it has become increasingly popular, leading to its current status.
Here, along with a cold draft beer, let’s try the K-snacks only available in Korea, such as Nogari/Dried Young Pollack and Golbaengi/Sea Snails. In addition, snacks such as chicken and fried dishes are also available, so try various snacks.

Horangii Coffee, located in Euljiro, Seoul, boasts a retro yet hip atmosphere. Furniture and picture frames with traces of time gone by and impressive props with the concept of a tiger come together to create a distinct atmosphere unique to this place. There are tables both inside and outside the cafe, but due to its small size, it is always crowded with customers. The signature menu items here are Horangii Latte and Fruit Sando. Horangii Latte has an impressive savory yet sweet flavor. Fruit Sando, made with whole fresh seasonal fruits, combines with soft whipped cream for a unique taste.
