Digital Media City, or DMC for short,

is an assembly of cutting edge IT technology, human resources, and cultural entertainment industries.

 As such, it is an urban complex of both Digital Media and Entertainment.

From the outside, you can experience the cutting-edge IT industry thanks to the presence of the 

magnificient and refined Korean broadcasting stations like MBC, SBS, YTN, CJ E&M, etc. 

One can easily see public broadcasts, live broadcasts, dramas being filmed, etc. in the area.

From the inside, there are beautiful sculptures scattered about.  Further, there are both big and small

 events at the Media Town Plaza allowing for new attractions to be seen.

While Sangam-dong’s Seoul World Cup Stadium was the main stadium for the Korea-Japan joint

 world cup in 2002, it is now home of the soccer club FC Seoul.

This is not only a soccer stadium, but also an entertainment space including a large supermarket, 

movie theater, sports center, wedding hall, etc., thus creating a shopping and leisure space in which residents can feel loved.

The beauty of Seoul World Cup Stadium’s world-renown architecture along with its own public relations 

office located inside the stadium itself allows for all to see 100 years of Korean soccer history. 

We’ve now taken a look at AREX’s Digital Media City Station and the local area.
