Gunja-dong () is a dong (neighborhood) of Gwangjin District, Seoul, South Korea. It is a transportation hub located on the southern side of Cheonho-daero, to the left of Jungnangcheon.
Name origin The origin story behind the name of Gunja-dong is as follows: In ancient times, a group accompanying a king happened to stay at the Dongirobyeon in this area. During their stay, the queen gave birth to a prince, and the place was named Gunja-dong, meaning "the place where the king's son was born." It is still referred to as "Myeongnyeonggungteo" to this day.
