Gunwi County (Gunwi-gun) is a county in Daegu Metropolitan City, South Korea.

Having been incorporated into Daegu

Gunwi County was part of the North Gyeongsang Province until June 30, 2023, and incorporated into Daegu Metropolitan City since July 1, 2023.

This decision was made because Gunwi County demanded incorporating Gunwi County into Daegu in exchange for allowing Daegu International Airport to be moved into Gunwi County.

So Daegu International Airport is going to be moved into Sobo-myeon, Gunwi County in 2030.

Administrative divisions

Gunwi County is divided into 1 eup and 7 myeon.
