The place

Yellow House is the name of a former red-light district in Sungui-dong, Michuhol District, Incheon, South Korea. The area had been a center for sex work in the area since March 1962. Before this, the first brothel in the city was a 1902 establishment Budo Yugak, which was ultimately moved to the Yellow House district during the Park Chung Hee administration.
