■ Seun Shopping Mall is Alive - The Mecca of the Korean Electrical and Electronic Industry This spring, the demolition plan for Seun Shopping Mall, which had been on and off, was completely withdrawn. The living history of the Korean electrical and electronic industry, which was on the verge of disappearing, has met a new fate. Seun Shopping Mall, built in 1967 as the first residential-commercial complex, was innovation itself. Afterwards, it gradually declined as Yongsan Electronics Shopping Mall was built and large discount stores and online transactions became active, but Seun Shopping Mall has endured steadfastly through its 50-year history of ups and downs. This is because there are old skilled craftsmen in every corner of its 400 stores, and young people who want to take on new challenges based on their skills and know-how are gathering here. Seun Shopping Mall’s 3 days are a space that shows that newness is possible on the foundation that someone has laid for a long time. ■ Is there anything that cannot be done at Seun Shopping Mall? Home appliances that cannot be repaired at large company A/S centers gather at Seun Shopping Mall. Industrial machines imported from overseas are also sent here when they break down. This is because there are craftsmen who have accumulated know-how for 30-40 years in each field. There are many famous inventor CEOs who can make products in no time at a single word, not just repairs. CEO Cha Gwang-soo, who has been in Seun Shopping Mall for 35 years, has created extraordinary idea products, from a machine that automatically sweeps snow off a vinyl greenhouse to various generators. Various electronic device parts that would otherwise be out of stock in the blink of an eye are turned into neat idea products by CEO Cho Hyeon-o. This is the power of Seun Shopping Mall that created the long-standing rumor that even rockets are made in Seun Shopping Mall. ■ A space that prioritizes ‘how’ over ‘why’ - Collaboration between craftsmen and young people On the 5th floor of Seun Shopping Mall is a manufacturing laboratory called ‘Fab Lab’ established by astronaut Ko San. Equipped with everything from 3D printers to laser cutters, anyone can make anything they imagine at a low cost. The 5th to 8th floors, which were originally residential spaces when Seun Shopping Mall was first built, are now filled with young people doing creative work. The three factors of lower rent than the market price in the area, various parts available on the 1st to 4th floors, and a skilled workforce with 40 years of experience have attracted young venture companies and artists. Seun Shopping Mall is being reborn as an open space where people think about “how” together rather than asking “why” about their ideas.
