The street began to form near Mok-dong Sageori (4-Way Intersection) in the mid-70s when textiles from Seoul began to be introduced. It is currently lined with some 90 shops offering textiles, Western clothes, and tailored suits. As the foremost bespoke fashion street in the country, it is truly the go-to place for bespoke tailoring with highly experienced and skilled tailors who design and custom-make clothing that suits their customers’ needs and preferences.
Motorcycle shops began to open here around a decade ago, and there are now around 30 shops offering all types of motorcycles including new and used, large and small, and recreational motorcycles. They provide excellent customer service with top-class technicians and offer wide selections at affordable prices.
