Editing List of cities in South Korea (section)

== List ==
; Notes
* The name "Seoul" does not originate from hanja. The official Chinese translation is written as {{lang|zh-Hant|首爾}}/{{lang|zh-Hans|首尔}}, which is a transcription based on the pronunciation of "Seoul" in Mandarin variant of Chinese language, and thus is not hanja of Korean language. In old Chinese documents, {{lang|zh-Hant|漢城}}/{{lang|zh-Hans|汉城}} was used. As an affix or abbreviation, the character ''gyeong'' ({{lang|ko|京}}), which means "capital", is used.
* Seoul was designated a "Special Independent City" (''Teukbyeol-jayusi;'' {{Korean|labels=no|특별자유시|特別自由市}}) separate from Gyeonggi Province on August 16, 1946; it became a "Special City" on August 15, 1949.
