Dongdaemun Market Special Zone
The Best Place in Dongdaemun for a Photo Shoot


With over 100 years of history, Dongdaemun Market is not only the cradle of Korea’s garment industry, but also a leader in global trends, at the forefront of the fast fashion movement. Also, a zoning project was completed recently, giving artists the chance to depict the spirit of Dongdaemun Market in their artwork.

Tongil Arcade, on the Street of Light, has installed artworks made of stained glass over a viaduct. These glassworks visually portray Dongdaemun Market’s rich history to passersby.

In addition, “The Media Wall,” the stone wall in front of Techno Town, has been decorated with frescoes and fitted with media artworks, so that the entire area remains lit 24 hours a day. It reflects the dynamic images of Dongdaemun Market.

When you arrive at “Painting Square” of Fashion Nam Pyounghwa, you can enjoy its beautiful wall paintings, which depict various aspects of Dongdaemun Market. These are the work of an artist who also designed the main logo of the popular T.V. show, “Youn’s Kitchen.”

If you are here for just a day out, why not take a photo with these fabulous artworks? Then, you’ll always have a chance to look back on the scenes from your trip to Dongdaemun Market.
