Gongdeok is just a regular Seoul neighbourhood. The area was devastated during the Korean War, and after conflict ended citizens returned to the city and became squatters. The squatters built shanties, and later built more permanent homes, and eventually larger apartment buildings (three or so floors). However, they still didn't own the land, and after 50 years of "squatting," they were told to move out. Some random giant corporation had bought the land out from underneath the buildings and served the tenants with eviction. The tenants who refused were chased out by gangsters, who would commonly smash walls and gates and basically make it hard to live there.
