Sinsu-dong () is a dong (neighbourhood) of Mapo District, Seoul, South Korea.
Overview Shinsu-dong is located in the southeastern part of Mapo District and borders the Han River. It originally consisted of three legal neighborhoods, Shinsu-dong, Hyeonseok-dong, and Gusu-dong, but on January 1, 2007, a boundary adjustment incorporated parts of Daeheung-dong and Sinjeong-dong. As a densely built residential area with relatively weak urban infrastructure, it has been undergoing active road-widening, redevelopment, and reconstruction projects.
The neighborhood name was changed from Sinseok-dong to Shinsu-dong on May 5, 1970. The names Shinsu-dong and Hyeonseok-dong are believed to originate from the earlier place names Sucheolli and Heukseok-ri, respectively.
