Bangbae-dong is a dong, or neighbourhood of the greater Gangnam area Seocho District district of the South Korean city of Seoul. [1] Bangbae-dong is divided into 5 different dongs which are Bangbaebon-dong, Bangbae 1-dong, 2-dong, 3-dong and 4-dong. The origin of Bangbae-dong is derived from the name Bangbae, meaning "dong-ri with my back to Mt. Myeon-ri," which rises on the border between Gwanak District and Seocho District. Bangbae-dong was Bangbae-ri, Sangbuk-myeon, Gwacheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do until the end of the Joseon Dynasty, but became Bangbae-ri, Sindong-myeon, Siheung-gun, Gyeonggi-do in 1914 when the area was confirmed during the Japanese colonial period. It was incorporated into the Seoul Metropolitan Government following the expansion of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's zone in 1963, and became Bangbae-dong to this day. The location is Dong at the western end of Seocho District, and it is an area from the intersection of the road from Seoul to Gwacheon City and the southern circulation road to Umyeon Mountain.
