The bookstore alley in Bosu-dong was started by a refugee couple from Hamgyeongbuk-do, who started by selling used magazines here when Busan City became the temporary capital city of Korea with the outbreak of the Korean War on June 25, 1950. Starting with Bomun Book Store (currently the Geulbang Shimteo), there were more than 70 book 2 stores here by the 1970s, and refugee artists used to go up and down to and from Yongdusan Park every day, thus becoming the alley's regular customers.
