Jukjeon-dong is a dong in Suji-gu of Yongin city. Jukjeon was divided into Jukjeon 1-dong and Jukjeon 2-dong on December 24, 2001, when Suji-eup was promoted into Suji-gu. Jukjeon borders Seongnam city to the north, Mohyeon-Eup of Cheoin-gu to the east, and Giheung-gu to the south. Tancheon flows through the neighborhood, with west of the stream classified as Jukjeon 1-dong and the east of it classified as Jukjeon 2-dong. Jeongpyeongcheon, a stream, also flows into Tancheon at Jukjeon. Along the banks of Tancheon are small parks and paths for walkers and cyclists.[1]

Apartments overwhelmingly outnumber individual houses in number as a result of relatively little urban planning compared to Bundang or Pangyo, Seongnam. There are a few luxury townhouse complexes located in the Greater Jukjeon Area (죽전지구), but they actually belong to Bojeong-dong of Giheung-gu.

The main campus Dankook University is located in Jukjeon. As a result, Jukjeon Station is also called Dankook University Station.

Shopping

The Gyeonggi Branch (경기점) of Shinsegae Department Store is located in Jukjeon. It houses CGV, a movie theater chain, and is attached to E-Mart Jukjeon Branch and Bundang Line's Jukjeon Station.

About 250 stores in Jukjeon Fashion Town attract people from all over Korea and even tourists from China or Taiwan. It began forming just before the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and now houses seven separate districts within itself. it is located along Seongnam-daero from Ori Station to Jukjeon intersection.[2]
