Songpa District (Korean: 송파구; RR: Songpa-gu) is a district of Seoul, South Korea. Previously known as Wiryeseong, the first capital of the ancient kingdom of Baekje, Songpa is located in the southeastern part of Seoul. With roughly 647,000 residents, Songpa is also the largest district in Seoul by population.
Songpa was at the center of 1988 Summer Olympics, and most of the sports facilities associated with that event are located within the district.
In 2009, Songpa was named one of the world's most livable cities at the LivCom Awards presented by the United Nations Environment Programme.[2]
