This is a newly opened cafe, appropriately themed for Charlie Brown. This ain't no tiny cafe either; it's two floors of cafe-beverages in dedication to he who is known as 'Charlie Brown'. You know, Charlie Brown has a rather sketchy history in Korea: half of Koreans know him, and half don't. You have those who have never heard of him, and those who know everything about him. But you rarely get those who are in the middle. We are not a bunch of fence-sitters here in Korea, that's for sure. But such an act as plastering Charlie Brown on a cafe makes me wonder: do they have the rights to do so? Nearby is a Mickey Mouse store that sells bags and such with Mickey plastered all over them, again making me wonder about copyrights. Korean music doesn't really pay much attention to copyrights, constantly under fire for their, at times, blatant disregard of them. But it's still a fun cafe, nonetheless.
