Artists' studios among working metal workshops.
Mullae is one of Seoul's more unusual neighbourhoods: a district of small steel and metal workshops where artists have moved into the upper floors and empty units.
By day the workshops are still welding and cutting. In the evening, bars, craft beer places and cafés open in between them.
