Young South Koreans flock to pop-up construction-site cafe in Seoul

This cafe at a construction site stands out among the thousands of coffee shops in South Korea’s capital city, Seoul, for its exposed-pipe and concrete-wall decor. The three-storey building that houses the AREA092 cafe was originally planned as a showroom, but the renovation was disrupted due to cold weather. Instead of waiting, the owner and his team members decided to turn the site into a pop-up cafe shop, only open for 92 days from February 1st until early May 2023.
