[edit] Design Plaza

The plaza will house a fashion design information center with seminar rooms and a lecture hall. There will be a multi-purpose convention hall and a number of exhibition halls. The park is hoped to make Dongdaemun the fashion hub of South Korea and perhaps the region.

[edit] Design Park

The Design Park will replace Dondaemun's older baseball and soccer stadiums and their adjoining flea markets and imitation name brand fashion venders. A general commercial district with areas for athletics will be built.

[edit] Underground Cultural Plaza

The underground cultureal plaza will allow access to the east and west sides of the Dongdaemun Fashion District which is bisected at ground level by a major road. It will connect to the Euljiro Underground Arcade, as well as connecting to the Dongdaemun Stadium Subway Station. The underground plaza will be incorporated into the structure of the design park and design plaza. It will house venues for performances and exhibitions.

[edit] Baseball Stadium

To replace the former Dongdaemun Stadium, a new baseball stadium will be built in Gocheok-dong.
