Balsan-dong () is a dong (neighborhood) of Gangseo District, Seoul, South Korea.
==Overview== Balsan-dong derives its name from Sumeongsan Mountain, also known as Palyeosan or Balsan, which is said to resemble an overturned rice bowl. Due to this bowl-like shape, the mountain was called "Balsan" (鉢山), meaning "bowl-shaped mountain." The area was historically divided into two settlements: Naebalsan-dong ("Inner Balsan"), located within the mountain’s interior, and Oebalsan-dong ("Outer Balsan"), situated outside of it.
