Over time, countless eateries, makkolli-jips (Korean-style taverns or grog shops) and other hole-in-the-wall establishments catering to the Choson-era hoi polloi sprung up along this long winding back alley, and it acquired a rustic, boisterous and distinctively charming character of its own." And guess what--they bulldozed it in favour of this skyscraper, and they constructed a small lifeless corridor within its base to be named Pimatgol.
