Seoul

been
the
capital
of
Korea
for

600
years,
since

of
the
Joseon
Dynasty(1392-1910).
Seoul
was
referred

as
“Han
Yang”
during
the
Joseon
Dynasty,
but
after
the
liberation
from
Japan,
in
1945,
the
newly
founded
Republic
of
Korea
officially
changed
its
capital
city’s
name
to
Seoul.
Seoul
has
developed
into
a
bustling
metropolis,
acting
as
the
hub
for
political,
economic,
social,

cultural
matters.
The
Han
River
runs
through
the
heart
of
the
city.
The
river
divides
the
city
in
two;
the
northern
part
of
the
city
is a
focal
point
for
culture
and
history,
while
the
southern
part
is
well
known
for
its
business
district.

many
international
events
including:
1986
Asian
Games,
1988
Olympic
Games
and
