The area's origins date from a sundae bokkeum restaurant in Sillim market. The market was replaced in the early 1990s by a shopping center but many restaurants continue the tradition and as of 2019, there were thirty restaurants serving it.{{cite news |last1=Eun-byel |first1=Im |title=[Seoul Food Alley] Buildings filled with stir-fried Korean blood sausage |url=http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20190515000762 |access-date=11 May 2021 |work=The Korea Herald |date=15 May 2019 |language=en}}
