【必見】韓国の駅前に「巨大半地下闇市場」が!? 街角から見えた韓国経済の衝撃の現実

Shizuka usually talks about the Chinese economy without any reservations, but this time she changed her perspective and walked through the underground shopping street in Incheon, South Korea. The remains of Incheon's semi-underground "black market" - the scent of the disappearing Showa era The semi-underground shopping street in front of Dong Incheon Station used to thrive secretly as a "black market" selling fake Japanese and American branded goods. When South Korea was still in the middle of its economic growth, it was rumored that "you can get anything you want here," and it functioned as a mecca for "underground shopping" for the common people. However, times have passed, and the decision has already been made to remove the underground shopping street. Many stores have already closed, and the shuttered corridors no longer have the same vitality as they once did. The few stores that remain open have old shelves, faded signs, and stores selling Japanese sweets... and here and there, signs that still read "MADE IN JAPAN" in the old Japanese. In the low-ceilinged underground space, the light of old fluorescent lamps is dim, giving the illusion of being lost in a world of the Showa era where time has stopped. The only people passing by are elderly people from the neighborhood and young people who like retro things. One shop owner quietly closed his shutters today as he calmly told the story of the market's history and his family. The reality of the Korean economy is revealed underground The Korean economy continues to be in a recession. The effects are clearly visible in these local commercial facilities. The "black market," which built an era, is also unable to resist the waves of the times and is quietly coming to an end. Shizuka-chan usually uploads videos from "Gun-chan's China Walk," but this time she is uploading a series that looks at the economy from a different perspective in Asia, "Seeing the Asian economy from the face of the city." Incheon's underground shopping street, the desire for consumption and the reality of decline quietly intersected. #KoreanEconomy #Korea #KoreaTrip #ShutterStreet
