Seun Sangga is a shopping area located between Jongno 3-ga and Toegyero 3-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul. It was built in 1966, in what The Hankyoreh described in an editorial as "a symbol of the indiscriminate redevelopment that occurred during the dictatorship years". [1] In the 1970s, it became known for its pornography vendors; however, in the late 1990s, business declined due to the rise of internet pornography. [2]
Since its outdated, there were several redevelopment plans about this shopping area. In 2006, Jung-gu suggested a plan to build a megatall skyscraper [3] with the height of 960m and 220-storied, [4] known as Tour Financial Hub Center, but due to the height restriction of Seoul central, [5] the project was abandoned.
