Lego Village, located in the Buk-gu district of Busan, is a unique housing complex that has captured the hearts of South Koreans and foreign tourists alike. Built in 1986, this neighborhood comprises 54 single-family homes arranged in a 6x9 formation, each with a similar shape but subtle differences. What makes Lego Village stand out is its resemblance to the popular toy block Lego, with its brightly painted roofs and uniform design.
Not only is the neighborhood visually appealing, but its residents have also made it a warm and welcoming community. Many residents have taken pride in their homes and yards, planting trees and flowers to add to the charm of the area. In 2019, the residents formed the LEGO Garden Village Community, publishing a book that shared the stories of the neighborhood and its residents.

Whether you're a fan of BTS or simply looking for a picturesque place to visit, Lego Village is a must-see destination in Busan.
