¡á Shinsegae Department Store |
|
The department store was originally opened as the Japanese Misreukkosi Department Store Gyeongseung branch in 1930. After the liberation of Korea it became the Korean Donghwa Department Store. Taken over by Samsung Partners in 1963, after a public survey, it was renamed to 'Shinsegae'. The main branch of Korea's first Department store is located at the center of Seoul, in Chungmuro and has led the domestic department store business for the past 70 years.
Though it is located in Chungmuro, it is regarded as Myeong-dong because it is within the Myeong-dong business area. The reconstruction of the new building will be completed in 2005. Until the construction is finished, only the main building will be open. Soon the Hoehyeon Subway Station will be connected to the department store. Though less popular, it is more luxurious and calm compared to the nearby Lotte Department Store.
