DDP is a daytime building that only really works lit โ€” get there at dusk for the curve and the LED rose field, and the wholesale fashion malls around it run to dawn. Then walk west into Euljiro: nogari and cold beer on plastic stools spilling into the lane, which is the whole tradition. Finish at Gwangjang, where the late stalls keep griddling long after the daytime market has packed up.
