Now 'Hoecnic' Instead of Chicken... Taking Pictures with a View of the Han River

I couldn't go abroad during the holiday period.

So I went on an outing to the Han River.

With the cooler weather, there were really a lot of people, and everyone was enjoying their outing with delicious foods like chicken and ramen.

However, I hear that nowadays, not just chicken and ramen, but enjoying raw fish at a Han River picnic—so-called "Hoecnic"—is popular.

If you look on social media these days, a lot of photos and videos showing people enjoying raw fish and seafood while looking out at the Han River are being uploaded.

In particular, the "Hoecnic" course of packing raw fish to-go from Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market and moving to Yeouido Hangang Park is popular.

You can see that information on the "Hoecnic" course, ranging from the travel route to how to rent a mat, is being actively shared.

It is analyzed that the main factor of its popularity is the ability to create a relatively simple yet unique atmosphere in the middle of the city.

However, due to the nature of takeout raw fish dishes, leftover food and various packaging waste can easily be generated, so I hope people take good care of their trash when going on a picnic.
