Seo-myeon, Busan

Seo-myeon (Korean: 서면; Hanja: 西面; lit. west side) is a major commercial center and transportation hub in Bujeon-dong, Busanjin District, Busan, South Korea.

The area grew from a small village in the Joseon period to a major industrial hub in the mid-20th century. It hosted numerous factories and businesses, including predecessors to the modern companies Samsung and LG. By the late 20th century, many of the factories moved away, and the area became the preeminent shopping and culture area of the city.
