Built in 1939, Dongchonchae was designated as Seoul Well Hanok by the Seoul Metropolitan City in 2016. In 2020, this hanok (traditional Korean house) received the Certificate of KOREA QUALITY from the Korea Tourism Organization in the Heritage Hanok field in recognition of its historicity and quality of services. Dongchonjae is located in the western side of Gyeongbokgung Palace, at Seochon.

Outside of the sarangchae and byeolchae, which are the living spaces for the owners, visitors have free access to the numaru (raised open floor) and the yard. The anchae’s rooms “Bom” and “Yeoreum” can accommodate 2 to 3 adults each, while the rooms “Gaeul” (Tea Room) and “Gyeoul” are optimal for two. The building is rented out as a whole, so no more than one group may stay in the building at any given time. Standard occupancy is four persons, and eight is the maximum number. There are two restrooms, one within the anchae building, one out in the backyard.

La rue du Tteokbokki de Sindang-dong fut établie dans les années 1970, bien que la rue elle-même ait connu ses meilleurs jours dans les années 1980. En plus d’avoir été citée dans les émissions de DJ très réputées de l’époque, la période marque aussi les beaux jours de l’équipe de baseball des lycées, lorsque les étudiants emplissaient la rue. Ceci évoque la confrontation directe entre le lycée commercial de Sunrin et le lycée commercial de Sunrin (aujourd’hui Sunrin Internet High School)
Les étudiants ont ensuite pris de l’âge, sans pour autant arrêter de fréquenter le quartier, réminescent de leur jeunesse et des spécialités de l’époque.
Cependant, certains pensent que l’histoire de la ruelle a débuté en 1950. La propriétaire du restaurant Mabongnim Halmeoni Tteokbokki (마복림할머니떡볶이) déclare que les premières ventes de Tteokbokki se sont faites en 1953 puisque le quartier abritait le théâtre Donga, et le restaurant vendaient donc aux spectateurs des Tteokbokki, du maïs et des pommes de terre.
Au depart, le Tteokbokki était simplement préparé avec du Gochujang (고추장), mais au fur et à mesure du temps, les chefs ont décidé qu’il fallait en faire plus qu’un simple snack. Ainsi, en ajoutant des oeufs, des nouilles, gâteaux de poisson et plus récemment du calamar, des crevettes et du fromage, le snack s’est transformé en un repas complet.

Opened in 1953 by a woman known as Mabongnim, the restaurant takes pride in its 50-plus years of service. As Mabongnim gained popularity, other similar establishments opened nearby, and eventually, formed the now famous “Tteokbokki Street.” The elderly proprietor is well known, even starring in a red-pepper paste (gochujang) ad in the 1990's.
The secret of this restaurant’s tteokbokki lies in the fact that red pepper
paste is mixed with Chinese soybean paste for a sweet and spicy taste, but has now been adopted by other Sindang-dong restaurants. Nevertheless, there is something special about this restaurant’s fare. At present, Mabongnim’s daughters-in-law are running the restaurant.
