Umyeon-dong is a dong (neighbourhood) of Seocho District, Seoul, South Korea is part of Gangnam District and a well-known, private neighborhood for the wealthy in southern Seoul.[1] It is a legal dong administered under its administrative dong, Yangjae 1-dong. The first syllable of the name is derived from Umyeonsan, or Mt. Umyeon due to the geographical feature of the area has the mountain.[2]
The mountain peak of Umyeon-San is located approximately 10km (10miles) south of Seoul, and about 5km (03miles) northeast of Gwanaksan. Satelliteviews.net lists the peak elevation as "313",[3] while Google Earth shows the maximum elevation at 280m (920feet), within a populated area.
During the 2011 Seoul floods, a landslide on an unstable slope of Mount Umyeon destroyed an apartment row, killing 17 people and may have buried about ten landmines dropped on the mountainsides during the Korean War.[4]
