Daehang-no (Korean: 대학로; lit. college street) is a area in Jongno District within Downtown Seoul.
Formerly known as Sunggyo-bang (숭교방; 崇敎坊; lit. high respect for teaching), it received its current name after the 1.1 km six lane road from Hyehwa-dong rotary to Ihwa-dong crossroad was designated as a "street of culture" on May 5, 1985.[citation needed]
Daehang-no is the street from the crossroad of 79–1, Jongno 5-ga, Jongno District, to Hyehwa-dong rotary, 132, Hyehwa-dong.[citation needed]
History
King Taejo relocated Sungkyunkwan to the current location on Daehang-no, after the founding of the Joseon dynasty. This gave Daehang-no its former name, "Sunggyo-bang", meaning "high respect for teaching".[citation needed]
During the Japanese occupation, Keijō Imperial University was founded in this area. The university was later merged with other colleges to form the prestigious Seoul National University.[citation needed]
In March 1975, main campus of the Seoul National University was moved to Gwanak District by pressure from national government.[1] What came to the place where SNU left, was densely concentrated theatre district around Marronnier Park,[2] as the street was hub of Seoul's university culture in 1970s.[3]
