Godeok-dong is a dong, neighbourhood of Gangdong-gu in Seoul, South Korea.

History

Godeok means "high virtue" in Korean. During the Late 14th century, Yangjung Lee, a public officer of the Goryeo Dynasty, strongly rejected a conciliatory offer to turn into Joseon Dynasty, a new regime after the Goryeo Dynasty. Due to his high loyalty to his government, he was admired by the general public and they called his residential area "Godeok". In 1995, Seoul Subway Line 5 was passed through this area stopping at Godeok Station and Myeongil Station.
