Sejong City
In early 2007, the Republic of Korea government 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. But, in 2009, the replaced Seoul as new national capital was violating South Korean Constitution by Constitution Court, and now Sejong City was only to be National Administrative Capital and Secondary capital alongside Seoul with representing about 36 government ministers and agencies, including Prime Minister office in 2015.

Famous quotes containing the word city:
“The City is of Night; perchance of Death,
But certainly of Night; for never there
Can come the lucid mornings fragrant breath
After the dewy dawnings cold grey air;”
—James Thomson (18341882)
