The design of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), by the influential late architect Zaha Hadid, is intentionally forward-looking, and many of the exhibits in the various halls and buildings highlight the growing cultural influence of South Korea.

A replacement stadium is under construction nearby.Explore breathtaking Gallery from the HuluTrip homepage over the past 5 years..
