Songpa-Gu

On behalf of the 660,000 residents of our city, I wish to welcome you to Songpa-gu, a city steeped in rich history and strategically located for continued growth and success. It is also the largest city in Seoul Metropolitan by population.

We pride ourselves on being one of the world's most livable cities. Our highly-rated schools, art centers, parks, safe and family-friendly neighborhoods, and state-of-the-art medical facilities are extraordinary. Public safety is vital to our community. The Police Department and Fire Department of Songpa are outstanding.

The Olympic park from the 1988 Seoul Games, Lotte World, and the 123-story Lotte World Tower (the fifth-highest building in the world), and Garak Market (the largest agricultural and aquatic product market in Asia) are just a few of our historic places of interest that we hope you will visit and explore. The Seokchon Lake Festival and Hanseong Baekje Culture Festival are very attractive community events for you and your family to enjoy.

Our residents and public workers at the Songpa-gu office join me in welcoming you to Songpa-gu where your family’s health, welfare, and safety are our priority.

Whether you are a long-time resident, newcomer, or one of our many visitors, our professional and courteous staff is here to assist you and takes great pride in providing fast, reliable, and quality municipal services.

Songpa will be your favorite, for work, play, and for life. Please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely.

Mayor Kang-seok Seo
