You think this guy has every cable in existence in his shop behind him? There is an area of Seoul that I love located right by one of the most popular tourist destinations... Dongdaemun.
While everyone makes it a point to stop by Dongdaemun, foreigners hardly ever venture into this area. Im talking, of course, of the area between Dongmyo station and Sindang Station.
It's small area of hundreds of various small shops selling everything from machine parts to hiking gear. Usually it is only Korean people who venture into these parts, as they are not listed as tourist destinations at all.
This area is great for any photographers who are into street photography as there is so much hustle and bustle going on as people go on about their daily lives.
This photo is just one of the many small shop fronts selling, basically, whatever they can get their hands on. Stuff that a lot of us would just consider junk, is money for these people.
If you are ever in Seoul, definitely check this area out. Even if you don't have the intention of taking photos. It's a part of Seoul that is less developed as the big flashy areas, and therefore has kept a lot of its charm and older Seoul vibe.

As a fellow street photographer, I do really like your shots and how you portrayed real lives in form of photography.
I really do wish more people to appreciate the art of street photography where lives and stories are uncovered and revealed unless one would go to untapped places. Keep on turning ordinary uninteresting things to interesting stories. Cheers!
