About
Balsan Village is a representative neighborhood of Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City and is a prime example of how something amazing can come out of hardship. First settled by Korean war refugees, the small houses jam-packed on a hillside attracted young people looking for work in the 1970s and '80s, mainly females working in the garment factories nearby. Recently, the addition of colorful murals and public spaces has given the village a breath of new life.
