Itaewon is the first place designated as a unique tourist zone in Seoul with high foot traffic. This place is known for selling various countries' food and traditional goods. Also, various entertainment facilities such as famous restaurants, cafes, clubs, and pubs are concentrated. However, there is a lack of green spaces and convenient facilities for local residents to enjoy their leisure time, so the lives of residents are somewhat deprived of relatives. There is not enough short break during the tour, which increases tourist fatigue. Moreover, due to pandemics, shops that have been successfully operated so far are gradually losing their place, causing pain for both shops and local residents. Itaewon needs change right now.
