SeongnamSeongnam is a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Its geographic coordinates are . Because of its convenient location near Seoul, the South Korean capital, it is a largely residential city with a population that merges with other residential cities, such as Goyang and Gwacheon. Its most heavily occupied sector is the Bundang Development Borough, which is home to a huge amount of multi-skyscraper apartment complexes that are also common in other major Korean cities. In addition, the Bundang Borough serves as Seongnam's heart and provides the rest of the city with the Bundang Subway Line, which extends into Seoul. 666In recent years, a move within the city to have Seongnam governed as a gwangyeoksi capable of governing itself has arisen, partly due to Seongnam's growing population and changes in its main function as a city for residents whose workplaces are in Seoul. This has come about as Seongnam now strives to develop local industries, such as high-tech computer chip manufacturing. In addition, Seongnam's population has already bypassed those of other self-governing cities, showing how much Seongnam has rapidly developed since 1991, when it was officially established as a satellite city. The city is also home to dominant K-League soccer club Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma. See also External links
