Kim Gwang-seok Street
김광석 다시 그리기 길
A mural lane about 350 metres long beside Bangcheon Market, honouring Daegu-born folk singer Kim Gwang-seok, with his portraits and lyrics painted across the walls.
Kim Gwang-seok Street lies east of Bangcheon Market in Daebong-dong, Jung-gu. The lane runs about 350 metres along the Sincheon embankment and honours Kim Gwang-seok, the legendary folk singer who was born here and died in 1996. The walls are covered with portraits of him with his guitar, comics and classic lyrics. At the entrance stands a bronze statue of him sitting on a bench playing guitar, and visitors often pose beside it. The lane has a small performance space, cafés and souvenir shops, and on weekends street musicians sometimes sing covers of his songs. The lane is free to enter, and you can snack at the adjacent Bangcheon Market. Getting there: take Subway Line 2 to Kyungpook National University Hospital Station, use Exit 3, and walk about 10 minutes.
