Dongmulwon’s “Hyehwa-dong,” a song about an old friend

Dongmulwon is a Korean folk group that debuted in 1988. “Hyehwa-dong,” named after a Seoul neighborhood, invites memories of old friends. Listen below to the group’s MBN performance broadcast on September 21, 2026.

A Seoul neighborhood becomes a song title

“Hyehwa-dong” appeared on Dongmulwon’s second album in 1988 and was written and composed by Kim Chang-gi. The place name opens into memories of friends and time.

Why it stayed with Korean listeners

The song turns a Seoul place name into a doorway to memories of old friends and neighborhood life. The original, later remakes and live stages have kept that route open for newer listeners.
