Cheongpa-dong (Korean: 청파동; lit. 'blue hill neighborhood') is a dong (neighborhood) of Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea.[2][3]
Cheongpa-dong is a place deeply connected with literature and poets. The most famous is Choi Seung-ja's poem titled 'Do You Remember Cheongpa-dong', and poet Park Joon also released Cheongpa-dong Trilogy.
Additionally, it is also the setting for writer Kim Ho-yeon's novel 'Inconvenient Convenience Store'. And Jeongmilla's 'CheongPa Sonata', which won the Album of the Year at the 2021 Korean Music Awards, is also based on her experiences in Cheongpa-dong.
Etymology
[edit]The name Cheongpa (靑坡) is derived from the meaning "blue hill." There are two explanations for its origin. One is that Cheongpa-dong is located near Yeonhwabong, a blue 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.
