Amidst the hustle and bustle, a paused afternoon.

Afternoons in Myeongdong are always lively. The streets are filled with the aroma of hotteok and spicy tteokbokki, while small shops line up one after another, showcasing tempting displays of cosmetics and fashion. Street performers play music that draws crowds to stop and enjoy. I weave through the throngs of people, feeling the pulsating rhythm of the city—a kind of addictive energy. Returning to the RYSE Hotel in Hongdae, its innovative and artistic design stands out. The installations and decorations on the walls exude creativity, forming a perfect contrast to the daytime hustle. The room is tranquil and comfortable, like a private universe of my own. Tonight, I find a balance between the city's vibrancy and serenity, embodying the ideal travel experience I yearn for.
