Cheongpa-dong (Korean: 청파동) is a dong (neighborhood) of Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea.[2][3]
Etymology
[edit]The name Cheongpa (靑坡) is derived from the meaning "green hill." There are two explanations for its origin. One is that Cheongpa-dong is located near Yeonhwabong, a green mountain peak, hence the name. The other explanation is that it is derived from the residence of Cheongpa Gigeon, a renowned scholar during the Joseon period, who lived in this area during the reign of King Sejong.
