Chungmuro (Korean: 충무로) is an avenue 1.75 km in length and 10–20 m in width and the area nearby, located in Jung District, Seoul, South Korea.
Dansungsa, the first movie theater of Korea, established in 1907, is also situated in the area, then known by its Japanese name, Honmachi.
[2] Chungmuro was named after Chungmugong, the posthumous title of Korean Admiral Yi Sun-shin, which means "martial duke of loyalty."
[4] Although many film studios have since moved from Chungmuro to the Gangnam District or other areas of Seoul, Chungmuro still symbolizes the South Korean film industry and continues to be used as a metonym for it.
