It was fine weather to celebrate the Worldwide Sketchcrawl. We Seoul sketchers met at the I'Park Mall building included Yongsan Station in Seoul. Yongsan Station, located in I'Park Mall, is the largest railroad and subway station in Korea. I'PARK Mall,the biggest shopping complex in Korea, is the urban entertainment shopping mall composed of various shopping space and cultural, entertainment space.

The sceneries around outside the Station building were somewhat desolate owing to the large-scale redevelopement plan, but the atmosphere of indoor theme zone was so lively and bustling with a lot of shoppers and passengers. I sketched colorful scenes in and out around the huge building and enjoyed an exiting day.

100년이 넘은 서울 최초의 중심역사...

강점기와 근대사를 지나 거대 민자역사로 탈바꿈한 모습을 그리면서
驛舍를 스쳐간 歷史의 발자취와 기적소리가 아련히 다가오는 것을 느낀다.

Though the weather was fine the wind was terrible. And the area was so big that we couldn't capture all on one day. But every spot was lively and exciting with people. Nine sketchers participated in. New comers, Lee Sang Jin and Go Seong Ae were welcomed by all. We expected their long lasting affection in sketching hoping to meet again and again. Thank you all the participants despite of illness and busy schedules! See you soon!
