About
Myeong-dong is a space that evokes the image of a massive shopping city. Generally, Myeong-dong Street refers to the roughly 1km stretch from Myeong-dong Station on Subway Line 4 to Euljiro and Lotte Department Store. This area is densely packed with various brand stores, department stores, and boutique shops. Fitting the description of a fashion mecca, you can purchase a wide range of products here, including clothing, shoes, and accessories. Nearby department stores include Lotte Department Store and Shinsegae Department Store, while shopping malls such as Noon Square, Myeong-dong Migliore, and M Plaza line the street. Various brand shops are concentrated along the central street and side alleys. Beyond shopping, Myeong-dong offers plenty of food and entertainment options. Dining choices range from family restaurants and fast-food outlets to Korean, Western, and Japanese cuisine. Additionally, Myeong-dong is home to many convenient facilities, including hair salons, banks, and theaters. Major tourist attractions in Myeong-dong include Myeong-dong Cathedral (명동성당), the main parish church of the Archdiocese of Seoul of the Catholic Church in Korea, Myeong-dong Arts Theater (명동예술극장), which was restored and reopened from the former National Theater, and Cartoon Street.
