Stepping back in time, imagine Seoul in the 1960s. Squatters seeking refuge and opportunity began to settle in an area that would eventually become known as Sanggye 5-dong. Sanggye 5-dong, nestled within the Nowon District of Seoul, holds a unique history. By the 1980s, Sanggye 5-dong was a bustling community of approximately 1,000 squatter households and 600 tenant families. The lives and stories of these residents intertwined, creating a vibrant tapestry of resilience and community spirit. In 1985, a pivotal moment arrived for Sanggye 5-dong. It was designated as a redevelopment zone. This declaration brought about significant changes. Many residents chose to leave, seeking new homes and opportunities elsewhere. However, a number of families resisted, clinging to the place they had come to call home. Their resistance eventually met with forced evictions, marking a poignant chapter in the history of Sanggye 5-dong. Today, Sanggye 5-dong stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of its early residents. Their legacy is etched in the very fabric of this dynamic neighborhood.
