Mangwon-dong () is a dong, or neighbourhood of the Mapo District, Seoul, South Korea.
==Overview== The name Mangwon-dong originates from Mangwonjeong, a pavilion from the Joseon Dynasty. Located along the Han River, Mangwon-dong was one of Seoul's areas prone to flooding until the early 1990s. Because of this, development was relatively limited, and Mangwon-dong has more older housing compared to nearby Hapjeong-dong and Sangam-dong. It is also adjacent to the Seoul World Cup Stadium, which hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
