With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to experience everything that Dong-Gu, 45 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art. Locals will also likely point you toward Seo-Gu, 45 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it's Yangdong Market. (But we'd also recommend Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.)
