Yongin Special City expands honorary road names to six locations

Yongin Special City has increased its number of honorary road names to six following a decision by the Address Information Committee. The latest addition, ‘Ban-gye Yu Hyeong-won Seonsaeng-gil’, honors the achievements and reformist spirit of the late Joseon Dynasty scholar Yu Hyeong-won.

Honorary road names are additional titles assigned to existing roads to commemorate local history, culture, or international exchange. These names are used separately from legal road names and do not affect official address systems.

The city’s existing honorary roads include:

• ‘Kim Yun-hu Seungjang-ro’ and ‘Cheoin Bugok-min-gil’, which commemorate the victory against Mongol forces in the Battle of Cheoinseong. • ‘Williamson County-daero’, marking international cooperation with Williamson County, Texas, and the semiconductor industry ties near the Samsung Electronics Giheung Campus. • ‘Cheongnyeon Kim Dae-geon-gil’, honoring Korea’s first Catholic priest, Kim Dae-geon. • ‘Yongin FC-ro’, celebrating the founding of the Yongin FC professional football club.
