首尔的城市发展政策从2000年代开始从大规模再开发转向文化复兴。虽然许多文化再生项目是由市政府领导并得到公共资金的支持，但在首尔市中心的一个营地城镇梨泰院，文化企业家的存在通过他们的艺术追求与企业实践相结合，引领了旧街区的文化再生。与社会认识相反，如果不搬迁该地区的军事基地，梨泰院的振兴将是困难的，梨泰院正在经历从一个营地城镇到一个文化活力社区的快速转变。本文所指的文化企业家是指那些不仅追求文化作品，而且作为企业主进行创业实践的艺术家。虽然许多文化企业家被认为是取代包括他们自己在内的下层居民的中产阶级化的象征性先驱，但梨泰院的文化企业家通过将其负面形象重新想象为充满文化活力的空间，将自己视为居民，并有成为中产阶级化先驱的自我意识，领导了旧街区的复兴。
The paradigm of urban development policy of Seoul has changed from wholesale redevelopment to cultural regeneration since the 2000s. While many cultural regeneration projects are led by the city government and supported by public funds, the presence of cultural entrepreneurs in Itaewon, a camp town in central Seoul, has led cultural regeneration of old neighborhoods through their artistic pursuits combined with entrepreneurial practices. Contrary to the social recognition that revitalization of Itaewon would be difficult without relocating military bases within the area, Itaewon is undergoing a rapid transformation from a camp town to a culturally vibrant neighborhood. In this paper, cultural entrepreneurs refer to artists who pursue not only cultural works but also entrepreneurial practices as business owners. Though many cultural entrepreneurs are regarded as symbolic precursors of gentrification displacing low-classes residents including themselves, cultural entrepreneurs in Itaewon led the revitalization of old neighborhood by reimagining its negative image into culturally vibrant space, identifying themselves as residents, and having self-awareness of becoming precursors of gentrification.
