The City of Youth (2026)

Hongdae pulses with neon chaos, yet for the twenty-somethings drifting through its crowded streets, the buzz feels strangely hollow. This compact cinematic piece explores the tangled, love-hate bond between Seoul’s restless generation and the city’s most iconic nightlife district—where every alley hums with music, every bar overflows with laughter, and still, something essential slips away. Through intimate vignettes, we watch as these young souls navigate fleeting connections, blurred boundaries, and the quiet ache of belonging in a place that never sleeps but rarely truly wakes. A raw, atmospheric glimpse into the fragile heart of youth, set against Hongdae’s relentless, glittering pulse.
