Ep. 10 · The full Mullae course
FitTrip Editor · 2026.07.22
To close the series, the origins of the industry (Ep. 2), the alley of divided labor (Ep. 3), two kinds of makers (Ep. 4), the shutter murals (Ep. 5), the table of the industrial alley (Ep. 6), reused spaces (Ep. 7), the two faces of time (Ep. 8), and the tension in the name (Ep. 9) are woven into one walking route. Starting at Mullae Station, walk the ironwork alley on its daytime schedule, eat late afternoon, then in the evening circle the murals and cultural spaces. Covering both day and night is what lets you see this neighborhood's two faces.
This is not a route that collects sights. It passes, in order, through one neighborhood's two faces — daytime industry and evening culture.

Designing the hours
The answer is a late-afternoon start — see the working alley by day first, then once shutters come down in the evening, circle the murals and cultural spaces to experience both of this neighborhood's faces Estimate.
Passing through two alleys, iron and art
This destination series began in Euljiro, circled several cities, and arrives at Mullae's ironwork alley. One thing is worth remembering as you pass through: behind both the murals and the venues, people are still cutting metal Estimate.
