A mid-morning in Cheongdam begins with slick glass facades and a steady stream of suited locals; the air smells of roasted coffee and new paint. You step off the main avenue and into quieter streets where private galleries open like secret rooms — each one curated, intentional, sometimes confrontational. Over two hours a knowledgeable guide leads you through five or more venues within a compact 5‑kilometer radius, translating studio notes into context and connecting works to Korea’s rapid cultural ascent.
