सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Olle-gil' syndrome: Since 2007, walking trails have become a national obsession in Korea, starting from Jeju Island. It represents a shift from 'fast' to 'slow' culture. Fans often say '꽃길만 걷자' (Let's walk only on flower paths) to their favorite idols, meaning they hope the idol only experiences success and happiness. Seoul has transformed many roads into pedestrian-friendly 'walking streets' (걷고 싶은 거리), like in Hongdae or Insadong, to encourage social interaction. The concept of 'Gil' is linked to 'Do' (Tao), suggesting that how one walks a physical road reflects their inner discipline and moral state.

Using '을' makes the road the focus. Using '에서' makes the location the focus. Use '을' for a sense of journey.
