Munjeong-dong () is a neighbourhood (dong) of Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea.
==Overview== Munjeong-dong is a district located in the Songpa-gu area of Seoul, South Korea. The name "Munjeong" is derived from an event during the Byeongja Horan in the 17th century. During this time, King Injo of Joseon sought refuge in Namhansanseong, a mountain fortress, and stopped to rest in Munjeong-dong. He drank water from the area, finding it exceptionally refreshing, and thus named the village "Munjeong" after the surname of the prominent Mun clan that lived in the region.
