Road of Master Toegye Yi Hwang

Toegye-ro is named after **Yi Hwang**, the most prominent Neo-Confucian scholar of the Joseon Dynasty, revered by his pen name **Toegye**.

While he did not reside on this specific street, the road was named to honor his legacy alongside Yulgok-ro, acknowledging them as the two pillars of Korean Confucianism.

Stretching from Seoul Station to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park, Toegye-ro runs beneath Namsan Mountain, bridging the traditional and modern facets of the city.
