Yet, our history lies along these very streets. Here we find the Jongmyo Shrine with its 600-year history, the 100-year-old Gwangjang Market, Seun Shopping Center as a modern heritage site, and the Cheonggyecheon Stream, which has flowed for 5,000 years. We began by identifying the land\u2019s potential. We envisioned this site as a convergence point where the Jongno-Cheonggye commercial axis\u2014connecting Seoul\u2019s east and west\u2014intersects with the north-south Yukgyeong axis, which holds future value; a place of convergence and connection. Thus, we sought to create open public spaces\u2014spaces of emptiness\u2014that would evolve alongside the city. We aimed to preserve the original topography of the streets, reflect the memories they held, and open pathways that would connect with the city.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10975\" src=\"https:\/\/junglim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/2s-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10975\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10980\" src=\"https:\/\/junglim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1s-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10980\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10979\" src=\"https:\/\/junglim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06-\ud53c\ub9db\uace8\ud22c\uc2dc_0115s.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10979\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10977\" src=\"https:\/\/junglim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/3s-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10977\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10976\" src=\"https:\/\/junglim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/07-\ubc30\uce58\ub3c4_0115s.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10976\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"10978\" src=\"https:\/\/junglim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4s-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10978\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seun District 4 is a dilapidated, secluded urban back alley that has become a slum alongside the decline of Seun Shopping Center.
