Seoul is the capital and largest city of South Korea. With over 11 million peoples, Seoul is one of 
the world's largest cities. It is also the world's second largest metropolitan area, the Seoul National
Capital Area - which includes the major port-city of Incheon and satellite towns in Gyeonggi-do, 
having almost 23 million inhabitants. Almost half of South Korea's population lives in the Seoul 
National Capital Area, and nearly one quarter in Seoul itself, making it the country's political, 
cultural, and economic centre. As a Special City, it is administered directly by the national government.

The city is located on the basin of the Han River in the country's northwest. The North Korean border
lies about 50 km to the north. Seoul first appears in history in 18 BC, when the Baekje kingdom 
established its capital Wiryeseong in what is now around Songpa-gu, southeastern Seoul. Modern Seoul
descends from the Goryeo-era city called Namgyeong, which then became the capital of Korea during 
the Joseon dynasty.
