"Seoul is a city built on innovation and commerce. Combine the two and you get Common Ground, the world’s largest container shopping mall. Developed by the design firm Urbantainer, the project wasintended to revitalize unused land in the Gwangjin neighborhood. Now, 200 stacked, prefab blue containers stand on the site, helping connect the community with creativity. Independent boutiques in the Street Market and Market Hall areas lure shoppers, while gourmands head to the terrace restaurants and food trucks in the courtyard. A never-ending lineup of events is also on offer, from DJ nights and performances by emerging musicians to pop culture exhibits sponsored by Toy Republic."

Very cool concept and interesting shops, but not a lot of customers on the day of visitors which takes away the atmosphere.

A cute looking shopping space made up of shipping containers. There aren't many shops inside though. It has a small arcade.

Common Ground is a vibrant and trendy space built from colorful shipping containers, offering a mix of shops, cafés, and street food. Its unique design, lively atmosphere, and creative vibe make it a fun place to explore, hang out, and capture standout photos.

Another great idea of Shopping Mall 👍 build of cargo containers makes it very funky... Not much to see here, during my visit they only have Olive Young, Butter, ABC Mart, Vans, some local clothing brands and coffee shop. If you're looking for cool photo spots then this is place for you 😌

Very nice alternative shopping mall made out of shipping containers. The stores are mainstream but with good shopping options and the retail experience is high. There are plenty of food options on the top floor but unfortunately they weren't well visited. I found the offerings to be quite good but maybe there are other reasons why only few people were dining there.

A 2-3 storey shopping mall made of container boxes. It mainly sells vintage/2nd-hand clothing, reworked items, and some popular brands like Nike. There are also a few restaurants and cafés on the top floor. The overall mall is very aesthetic and clean, including the multiple toilets. However, it is not that big, so it took us around 1-hour to walk through. Overall, there are interesting and unique items for you to shop around it, and many photo-taking spots. However, they do tend to be on the pricier side.
