(Redirected from Sejong Special Autonomous City)

In early 2007, the Government of South Korea decided to create a special administrative district out of part of the present Chungcheongnam-do Province, near what is presently Daejeon. The new district will be named 'Sejong Special Autonomous City', and is to replace Seoul as the future capital of the Republic of Korea. The name is a tribute to Sejong the Great, creator of the Hangul alphabet.
