Greetings! Gangnam-gu residents and netizens! Welcome to our Gangnam-gu website! It is no exaggeration that Gangnam-gu is leading the center of Korea, so that it is most significant for the true Gangnam-gu to have the efforts and participation of our residents. Currently, Gangnam-gu is facing many difficulties. It should be much better than now. This is because the current image of Gangnam is an average picture of Korea in 5 years and 10 years. I would like to openly discuss Gangnam's difficulties and its future with you at any time. Whether your visit to Gangnam is for living, business, or pleasure, I sincerely hope that you enjoy your stay, and I extend my kindest regards to you. Gangnam-gu is a district on the move! We continue to plan for an exciting and productive future. Once you live in or visit to Gangnam-gu, I am sure you will agree that Gangnam is a great place to live, work, and play. I will be all ears to listen your opinions. Thank you very much, Shin,Yeon Hee Mayor of Gangnam-gu, Seoul Republic of Korea shyeon@gangnam.go.kr
