When it comes to South Korea, we cannot help but mention its "Dongs". There are many place names in South Korea that are related to "Dong". In the Korean "Chinese Character Dictionary", "Dong" is explained as follows: The left side of "Dong" is "water", and when combined with the right side "same", it indicates a "place with water", which was extended to mean "village" in ancient times. Nowadays, the Korean "Dong" refers to "streets" and has no relation to the Chinese term "mountain cave".
In South Korea, there are more than 2,000 Dongs nationwide, and Seoul alone has 522 of them. Among these, the most famous one is undoubtedly Myeong-Dong in Seoul.
