The Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP).

The architect that designed this building is Zaha Hadid.  It is out of this world and makes you feel like you stepped 100 years into the future or a Sci-fi novel! It is heaven for anyone who is an artist, a designer.

I found a great blog of a Jung II-woo fan, that travelled to Seoul recently.  I contacted her and she has kindly allowed me to use her photos in my website as I attempt to recreate the touristic points in Seoul and yes!  some of the important places one can visit in the history of our dear Oppa. She was everywhere!

So now let’s venture into the DDP.  This is a map of the place…
