Cities of South Korea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The largest cities of South Korea have self-governing status equivalent to that of provinces. Seoul, the largest city and capital, is classified as a teukbyeolsi (Special City), while the next 6 largest cities (see the list below) are classified as gwangyeoksi (Metropolitan Cities; see Special cities of Korea). Smaller cities are classified as si ("cities") and are under provincial jurisdiction, at the same level as counties (see Administrative divisions of South Korea).

Self-governing cities with the status of provinces (2005 populations):

• Seoul Special City (서울 특별시, Seoul teukbyeolsi: 10.3 million)
• Busan Metropolitan City (부산 광역시, Busan gwangyeoksi: 3.7 million)
• Incheon Metropolitan City (인천 광역시, Incheon gwangyeoksi: 2.6 million)
• Daegu Metropolitan City (대구 광역시, Daegu gwangyeoksi: 2.5 million)
• Daejeon Metropolitan City (대전 광역시, Daejeon gwangyeoksi: 1.5 million)
• Gwangju Metropolitan City (광주 광역시, Gwangju gwangyeoksi: 1.5 million)
• Ulsan Metropolitan City (울산 광역시, Ulsan gwangyeoksi: 1.1 million)

All of the above cities except Ulsan have metro (subway) systems either in operation or under construction.
