Jungnim-dong is a dong, neighbourhood of Jung-gu in Seoul, South Korea.[2]
The neighborhood Jungnim-dong got its name by combining parts of "Yakjeonjung-dong" and "Hanrim-dong". Yakjeonjung-dong was named after its historical role as a medicine supplier in Jangan during the Joseon Dynasty. Hanrim-dong was named after the Lee Jung-am family, whose three brothers all resided there and served in the Hanrim government during the same period. Other old village names in the area include Gaundong-mal, Hanrim-gol, and Hyungjeumulgol.
