Overview

Junggok-dong is located at the western foot of Achasan Mountain. The origin of its name is because Junggok-dong is located in the middle of Neung-dong and Myeonmok-dong, so it was called ‘Gandetmal’ or ‘Junggok-ri’ in Chinese characters. Junggok-dong is an area with convenient transportation where Cheonho-daero, Dongil-ro, Neungdong-ro, and Gingorang-ro pass, and subway lines 5 and 7 intersect. It is a general residential area created in a safe and comfortable manner through improved water defense facilities and development along the Jungnang Stream.
