A bronze statue of Choi Gyu-sik () is on Jaha Gate (Changuimun) hill near the Buam-dong residential service office. Choi was a chief of the
Jongno police station who was killed in the line of duty during the
21 January Incident when North Korean spies tried to penetrate
Cheong Wa Dae, South Korean presidential office and residence in 1968. Another attraction to Buam-dong is the
Changuimun Gate, otherwise known as the Northwest Gate of the
Fortress Wall of Seoul. Changuimun is one of the
Eight Gates of Seoul; its gatehouse is the oldest among the "Four Small Gates" (). The area is home to a store founded in 1969, Dongyang Bangagan, that sells
tteok, traditional rice cakes. It grinds rice to make them at home and sells many varieties, as well as seasonal specialties. ==See also==
