Good news for Korean movie lovers -- a movie street will be built along Chungmuro, the mecca of Korean movie industry, in Seoul.

On Thursday (Oct. 18), Seoul's Jung-gu District Office christened a special movie street on a 180-meter-long stretch of Chungmuro -- from the old Maeil Business Daily Building to Myungbo Movie Theater.

Many camera-shaped streetlights and other movie industry-themed features will be installed in the special zone which will also be decorated with imitation Korean movie awards and posters from award-winning films.
