Unjung-dong

Unjung-dong (운중동, 雲中洞) is one of the 19 dongs of Bundang-gu, in the city of Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province in South Korea. As of July 1, 2024, the population of Unjung-dong is 34,860, spanning 12,681 households. Its area comprises 18.11km² or 12.74% of Bundang-gu.^[1] Unjung-dong was formed in 1914 during the Japanese colonial period, when the villages of Jungsanun-ri (중산운리; 中山雲里), Sanun-ri (산운리; 山雲里) and Hasanun-ri (하산운리; 下山雲里) are merged, and one hanja from Sanun-ri and Jungsanun-ri are combined to form its current name. This is also descriptive of its geography as it is located below the peak of Guksabong (국사봉), where clouds often gather, thus its name literally means 'the dong in the middle of the clouds'.^[2]
