Cheongpa-dong (Korean: 청파동) is a dong (neighborhood) of Yongsan District, Seoul, South Korea.
[2][3] The name Cheongpa (靑坡) is derived from the meaning "green hill."
One is that Cheongpa-dong is located near Yeonhwabong, a green mountain peak, hence the name.
The other explanation is that it is derived from the residence of Cheongpa Gigeon, a renowned scholar during the Joseon period, who lived in this area during the reign of King Sejong.
