Triplet Code Sangsoo is located in a back alley that will be revitalised by the atelierisation of the massive retaining walls in front of the Hongik University dormitory. Recently, young people have been gathering in such areas between Hongik University to Sangsoo- dong, creating a new young culture in alleyways.
