Mia-dong is a dong (neighbourhood) of Gangbuk District, Seoul, South Korea.[1] [2] From June 30, 2008, nine administrative Mia-dongs were divided Mia-dong (Mia 3-dong), Samgaksan-dong (Mia 6 and 7-dong), Samyang-dong (Mia 1 and 2-dong), Songcheon-dong (Mia 5 and 8-dong) and Songjung-dong (Mia 4 and 9-dong). Remained Mia-dong is former Mia 3-dong.
The name Mia-dong first appears in official records during the early reign of King Gojong of the Joseon Dynasty, but its origin is unclear.[3]
