Samseong-dong (Korean: 삼성동) is a neighborhood of Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea.
It is considered an affluent area of Gangnam District, along with Cheongdam-dong and Apgujeong-dong. The area has a large concentration of upscale shopping malls, popular restaurants and hotels such as the Ramada Seoul Hotel, the Hyatt Park Hotel and Intecontinental Hotel. The Starfield COEX Mall, a major underground shopping mall featuring the Starfield Library, is located in Samseong-dong.
It consists of a large apartment complex and a general residential area, and the 56,000-pyeong Seonjeongneung is loved as a resting place for local residents, including a walk.
The designation itself has nothing to do with Samsung Group. It is coincidental that the names are the same.
The school district is also famous for its good quality. To the north of COEX is Gyeonggi High School, a prestigious high school, and its surrounding area is a rich village with expensive houses, villas, and apartments.
