Rodeo Street: This street is known for its high-end fashion stores, beauty clinics, and trendy cafes, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists.
Teheran-ro is often referred to as the “Silicon Valley of Korea” due to the high concentration of IT and tech companies, including major firms like Samsung, LG, and Kakao. The street was named after Tehran, the capital of Iran, as part of a cultural exchange between Seoul and Tehran in 1977.
In exchange, a street in Tehran was named “Seoul Street.” Teheran-ro is known for its impressive skyline, lined with numerous high-rise buildings and skyscrapers, making it one of the most prominent business districts in Seoul. In addition to tech companies, Teheran-ro is home to many financial institutions, including banks, investment firms, and venture capital companies.
The area around Teheran-ro offers a vibrant nightlife with a variety of bars, clubs, and restaurants, attracting young professionals and businesspeople. #gangnam #gangnamstyle #teheranro #apgujeong #coexmall #gangnamdistrict #siliconvalley #nightlife
