Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Myeong-dong or Myong-dong is a dong in Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea between Chungmu-ro, Eulji-ro, and Namdaemun-ro. It covers 0.99 km² with a population of 3,529 and is mostly a commercial area, being one of Seoul’s main shopping and tourism districts. Myeongdong dates back to the Joseon Dynasty when it was called Myeongryebang and mostly a residential area. During the colonial era the name was changed to Myeongchijeong and became more of a commercial district, being influenced by the rising commerce in the neighboring Chungmuro area.
