Chaeg Bar

Book Trip [Celeb’s Book Spot ④] Chaeg Bar A Healing Space Where Books and Liquor Harmonize 2023.05.02 The area in front of Hongik University, where restaurants, bars, and clubs are focused, is known as an area for young people. Walk along the Yeonhuiro road, past the crowded street, and you will find a bar that shows off a unique concept - “Chaeg Bar.” Chaeg Bar, which is like finding treasure hidden deep inside an alley, is a “drinking bookstore” - a bar and a night bookstore - like its name suggests (chaeg means book in Korean). A bar and a bookstore seem like an awkward mix, but Chaeg Bar has been getting word of mouth as it was introduced by movie director Jang Hang-Jun, writer Kim Young-Ha, Kim Sang-Wook, and RM of BTS (idol group).
