Digital Media City (DMC; Korean: 디지털미디어시티) is a high-tech complex for digital technologies, housing ubiquitous networked offices, apartments, exhibitions, conference halls, television network headquarters and cultural centers in Seoul, South Korea.[3][4] It is located at 366, Worldcupbuk-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul. It was constructed in 2006 across 570,000 m2 (6,100,000 sq ft) and approximately 1.7 times the size of the Canary Wharf development in London, United Kingdom. It is a high-tech city centered on Digital Media Street for broadcasting, movies, games, music, e-learning and related industries.[5] It attracted well-known IT companies such as LG Telecom, Pantech, LG CNS and Samsung SDS,[6] media companies like MBC, JTBC, YTN, SBS, as well as various kinds of public exhibition facilities including the Korean Film Archive and the Korean Film Museum.
It is served by the Digital Media City Station on Seoul Subway Line 6, AREX and Gyeongui Line.
Residents of the Digital Media City are nicknamed Denizens (Digital Citizen) for their constant enthusiasm and interaction with high-tech digital technologies.[7]
The original advisors on the development include Dennis Frenchman and Michael Joroff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who also advised on the development of MediaCityUK in Salford, Greater Manchester, England, and Digital Mile in Zaragoza, Spain.[8]
