Jamsil-dong

1

Jamsil-dong is a dong (neighborhood) of Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea. Its name is derived from silkworm breeding during the Joseon period. Jamsil translates to a room or place for sericulture ("jam" is silkworm, "sil" is room). The state encouraged people to raise silkworms, so founded Dongjamsil (동잠실, literally "east place for sericulture") in the east vicinity of Seoul.
