Jung District, Seoul
Jung District, Seoul

Jung District (Korean: 중구; Hanja: 中區; RR: Junggu; lit. Central District) is one of the 25 districts of Seoul, South Korea. Jung has a population of 131,452 (2013) and has a geographic area 9.96 km2 (3.85 sq mi), making it both the least-populous and the smallest district of Seoul, and is divided into 15 dong (administrative neighborhoods). Jung is located at the centre of Seoul on the northern side of the Han River, bordering the city districts of Jongno to the north, Seodaemun to the northwest, Mapo to the west, Yongsan to the south, Seongdong to the southeast, and Dongdaemun to the northeast. Jung is the historical city center of Seoul with a variety of old and new, including modern facilities such as high rise office buildings, department stores and shopping malls clustered together, and also a center of tradition where historic sites such as Deoksugung and Namdaemun can be found. Jung is home to cultural sites such as the landmark N Seoul Tower on Namsan Mountain, the Myeongdong Cathedral, the Bank of Korea Museum, and the Gwangtonggwan, the oldest continuously-operating bank building in Korea and one of city's protected monuments since March 5, 2001. The Myeongdong neighborhood is one of the most famous shopping areas and popular tourist destinations in South Korea. The district has undergone significant redevelopment in the recent decades, especially with the remodeling of Seoul Plaza and the opening up of Cheonggyecheon, previously covered by an elevated highway.

Eunhosikdang

Eunhosikdang (Korean: 은호식당) is a historic Korean restaurant in Jung District, Seoul, South Korea. It is the fourth oldest active restaurant in Seoul, having been founded in 1932. It specializes in the dish kkori-gomtang (oxtail soup). It is close to the Namdaemun area, near Namdaemun Market. Customers reportedly wear gloves to pick up and eat the meat and bones from the kkori-gomtang. The meat can be dipped in a house sauce, and the soup has noodles in it. The restaurant also serves other dishes, such as yangji-tang (brisket soup) and seolleongtang. The restaurant is reportedly the oldest in Jung District. It was founded in 1932 by Kim Eun-im (김은임) as a tent restaurant in Namdaemun Market. Eventually, she acquired a permanent space for the restaurant, which she dubbed Pyeonghwaok (평화옥); around this time she encountered Lee Myeong-sun (이명순), whom she would eventually adopt as her daughter and pass the restaurant onto. During the 1950–1953 Korean War, Kim fled to Busan and temporarily reopened the restaurant there. After Kim's return to Seoul, she eventually acquired a storefront for the restaurant, which she named Eunseongok (은성옥). After the 1968 Namdaemun Market fire, the restaurant reopened under the name Eunhosikdang. Amidst plans to redevelop the Namdaemun area, the restaurant opened two branches with the intent to move out of the Namdaemun area; this never ended up happening, so it maintained all three branches. The first branch opened in the Seosomun area in 2002, and the second in Yeouido in 2005. By 2019, it was reportedly run by the fourth generation of the same family. It first served haejang-guk (a dish said to cure hangovers). After government officials tried the kkori-gomtang, the dish became a hit in the store. In 2013, it was made a Seoul Future Heritage.
