MYEONGDONG THEATER

It is actually one of the oldest theatres in Seoul, built in 1934 during the Japanese occupation. It still preserves the baroque style, especially in its exterior. Until the 1970s it was one of the busiest theatres in the whole of South Korea. But following the construction of the Korean National Theatre in 1975, the Myeongdong Theatre ceased its artistic activity and was rented out. The theatre mainly programmes plays of drama, dance and music.
