Gungjeong-dong is a dong, a neighbourhood, of Jongno-gu in Seoul, South Korea. It is a legal dong (Korean: 법정동; Hanja: 法定洞) administered under its administrative dong (행정동; 行政洞), Cheongun-dong.[1][2]
History
In November 1945, Yeom Dong-jin purchased a house in this neighborhood and used it as the headquarters for the right-wing terrorist group the White Shirts Society. Eventually, the house was acquired by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency. In 1979, that house served as the location of the assassination of Park Chung Hee.[3]
