La puerta Dongdaemun fue originalmente llamada Heunginjimun, y es la antigua entrada oriental a la ciudad de Hanyang (Seúl).
Dongdaemun fue edificada por el rey Taejo in 1396, renovada por el rey Danjong en 1453, y su actual estructura fue hecha por el rey Gojong en 1869. Aparentemente, la gente comenzó a llamarla Heunginjimun desde los tiempos del rey Sejo (1455-1468). Pese a que la puerta es conocida en general con el nombre de Dongdaemun, mucha gente aún la sigue denominando Heunginjimun, con la intención de preservar su antiguo legado.
La característica más interesante de Dongdaemun es que tiene un ongseong, un muro externo especialmente construido con forma de media luna. Originalmente, el palacio real en Hanyang se había erigido sobre un terreno bajo, por lo que era difícil defenderlo de las invasiones. Por ello, hicieron levantar un muro para compensar dichas desventajas. Se puede observar que la puerta fue hecha teniendo en consideración la geografía del entorno. Las rocas de ongseong tienen diferentes colores, que fueron cambiando a través de las diversas obras de renovaciones que sufrió la puerta.
En el centro del muro reforzado de piedra se encuentra la puerta más pequeña Hongyemun. Sobre esta, se halla el piso intermedio compuesto de cinco secciones y el techo tiene el estilo llamado "de Ujingak". En los aleros del techo están las estatuas japsang, que se parecen a animales y se dice que espantan a los espíritus malignos. La estructura de Dongdaemun tiene una intrincada técnica de los detalles y hay una gran exaltación de la decoración, con lo que muestra muy bien el estilo de la arquitectura que había en los últimos tiempos del período Joseon.
