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-Myeon 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.[1] 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.
