If you come out of Exit 7 of Jagalchi Station on Busan Subway Line 1, go straight, turn around the first left corner, and go straight, you will find an international market, and beyond that, there is a bookstore alley in Bosu-dong, where used bookstores are concentrated.
In Korea, it is considered one of the most popular used bookstore alleys in Busan.After Busan became the temporary capital of Korea, a stall selling old magazines, cartoons, and used books collected from junk shops from the alley at the entrance of the Bosu-dong intersection during the Korean War was the beginning of the current Bosu-dong bookstore alley.
In the 1960s and 1970s, there were about 70 bookstores at the time, but now there are 45 used bookstores in every corner of the narrow alley of 200 meters.
Since 2005, the Bosu-dong Bookstore Alley Prosperity Association has been loved by many Busan citizens as a cultural space such as the Bosu-dong Alley Festival, Bosu-dong Bookstore Alley Culture Center, and Book Cafe, where various events such as book cover making are held every September.
