Amidst the towering skyscrapers of Seoul, Times Square stands as a testament to Korea’s resilience and ambition. Times Square isn’t just a shopping mall. It’s a symbol of transformation, rising from the remnants of the Kyungbang textile factory. This factory, scarred by Japanese colonization and the Korean War, was once a hub of industry. Now, in its place, stands this gleaming beacon of modernity. Times Square officially opened its doors on September 16, 2009. The mall welcomes a staggering number of visitors daily, drawn to its diverse offerings. Imagine exploring the Shinsegae Department Store. Here, luxury brands mingle with high-end local products. Catch a movie at the CGV Starium, home to the world’s largest permanent 35mm cinema screen until 2014. Lose yourself in the pages of a new book at the Kyobo Book Center. Grab groceries at E-Mart. Or simply relax in one of the many outdoor spaces. These spaces, totaling nearly 14,850 square meters, offer a welcome respite from the bustling city. Times Square also houses the Courtyard by Marriott hotel, a fitness center, a banquet and convention center, and even a children’s theme park. It is truly a microcosm of Seoul itself, blending tradition and innovation, leisure and commerce, in one dynamic space. This “Urban Entertaining Lifestyle Center” is more than just a place to shop. It’s a place to experience the vibrant pulse of modern Seoul, a city constantly reinventing itself, much like the Times Square itself.
