Seoul/Songpa

The world's largest indoor theme park, Lotte World, is here, as is the Olympic Park and many of the facilities that were used the 1988 Seoul Olympics. And for fans of baseball and/or Korean op culture, the Jamsil Sports Complex frequently hosts baseball games and K-pop concerts.
Understand
[edit]Songpa, which literally means a riverside village with good mountains and clear water with green pine trees on a hill, was a town in the early Baekje Dynasty. It was originally part of Jungdae-myeon, Gwangju-gun, Gyeonggi-do, but in 1963, when Seoul's administrative area was expanded, it was incorporated into Seongdong-gu, and the Songpa branch office was established. In 1975, it was separated from Seongdong-gu to Gangnam-gu, and in 1979, it was part of Gangdong-gu, which was separated from Gangnam-gu. In 1988, with the implementation of local government, it was separated from Gangdong-gu and Songpa-gu was established.
