Magok

Magok is a toponym used in South Korea. The most prominent use is Magok-dong, a neighborhood in the Gangseo District of Seoul. Magok-dong is part of the larger Magok area, which has undergone extensive redevelopment since the 2010s to create a mixed-use district featuring residential, office, and green spaces, along with improved transportation links to central Seoul. The area is known for urban planning efforts and environmental initiatives aimed at sustainable development and public space enhancement.

In addition to the Seoul neighborhood, the name Magok appears in other localities and in corporate or institutional names within Korea, reflecting its use as a geographic descriptor. The exact origin of the name is not widely documented in English-language sources, and transliteration may vary.
