History

During the reign of King Jeongjo of Joseon, this area was used as the Daeyu farmlands, an economic base for building Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. In modern times, it became home to a large tobacco factory. After the factory was relocated and demolished, the site was left idle until urban regeneration transformed it into today’s park. 111CM repurposes the old factory space into a cultural hub, hosting exhibitions, performances, and community programs.
