This article is about the Korean city. For the garment, see
Wonju (Bhutan) .
Municipal City in Gwandong, South Korea
Wonju [a] (Korean pronunciation: [wʌn.dzu] ) is the most populous city in Gangwon Province , South Korea , with a population of 364,860 as of 2023. The city is located approximately 140 kilometres (87 mi ) east of Seoul .
History [ edit ]
During the time of Great Joseon , Wonju was the capital of the historic Gangwon Province , one of the Eight Provinces of Korea .
Korean War [ edit ]
Wonju was the site of the first ever massacres conducted by the Republic of Korea Army against suspected communists that occurred on 30 June 1950. On 2 July of the same year, the Korean People's Army attacked Wonju before capturing it on 7 July.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Throughout the Korean War, Wonju was the site of three crucial battles .
Geography [ edit ]
Wonju sits at the southwestern corner of Gangwon Province, bordering Gyeonggi Province to the west and North Chungcheong Province to the south. Within Gangwon, Wonju borders Yeongwol County to the east and Hoengseong County to the north. Unlike much of Gangwon Province, Wonju is not a mountainous area, but rather a basin along the wide plain created by the Seom River .
Administrative divisions [ edit ]
Wonju City is divided into 1 eup (town), 8 myeon (townships), and 16 dong (neighborhoods).[7]
