While we were walking around Garosugil “가로수길”, we chanced upon the filming of an episode for Running Man “런닝맨” and I was able to snap a few shots off as crowds started gathering and security was keeping the area blocked off. Due to the number of people in front of me, I had to put the camera in multi-shot mode and hold the camera as high as possible and shoot blindly to capture some of the shots below.
Garosugil “가로수길” is a small district in Sinsa-Dong “신사동”, a part of Gangnam “강남” and is reminiscent of SoHo in New York City with small streets filled with cafes, bars, restaurants, galleries, boutiques and other various shopping stores. It’s dominated by younger, fashionable people who are there to shop, eat, drink and walk around.
