Mapo District, Administrative district in northwestern Seoul, South Korea
Mapo District extends over 23.84 square kilometers along the northern bank of the Han River, bordered by Eunpyeong, Yongsan, and Dongjak districts.
The district transformed from agricultural land to an urban center after its incorporation into Seoul in 1946, taking its name from a former hemp ferry crossing.
The Hongdae area near Hongik University contains numerous performance venues, art spaces, and music studios that shape Seoul's contemporary entertainment landscape.
The district connects to five major subway lines, including Line 2 and Line 6, with Gongdeok Station serving as a central transportation hub for commuters.
World Cup Park, constructed on a former landfill site, features walking paths, recreational facilities, and the Seoul World Cup Stadium from the 2002 FIFA tournament.
