- ... that between 1963 and 1979, the price of land in the Gangnam region (pictured) of Seoul increased nearly 1000 times? "The price of land soared: for example, in Gangbuk (the old urban center) the price of land increased by nearly 25 times, and in newly developed Gangnam it increased by nearly 1000 times." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264275120314219 The source also shows the years in a table.
- ALT1: ... that the rapid development of the Gangnam region (pictured) of Seoul was spurred by the 1968 North Korean assassination attempt on military dictator Park Chung-hee? "Concern over an invasion by North Korea was another motivation for Gangnam's development. Back in the 1960s, Korea was concerned about a possible reinvasion by North Korea. Gangbuk was more vulnerable, being only around 40 kilometers (25 miles) away from the demarcation line between South and North Korea that was created in 1953. The Blue House raid, launched by North Korean commandos to assassinate President Park Chung Hee in 1968, awoke the authorities to the need to disperse the population and public agencies further away from the demarcation line." https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2023/02/11/why/korea-gangnam-development/20230211070009412.html and further elaborated in page 68 of https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7591/j.ctv1xp9pw7.9 "In the event of an invasion by North Korea, which had always been a keen concern of the military government in South Korea, having three million people concentrated on the north side of the Han River would be a liability. This concern was heightened by a North Korean commando attack on the presidential palace in an attempted assassination of President Park Chung Hee in 1968."

Overall: 
@Freedom4U: Good article. Though, should "The music video was filmed in the Gangnam District and featured the ASEM Tower and the Trade Tower. The 2015 action film Gangnam Blues followed the real estate development of the Gangnam area." be cited? other than that everything seems good. AGF on Korean sources.

- @Onegreatjoke: Huh I actually rephrased the first part from the Gangnam District article, but I didn't do it correctly because their source There's no Gangnam in Gangnam Style didn't actually say that... I've gone ahead and rephrased the sentence to better match the source. I've also added a source for the Gangnam Blues sentence now. Freedom4U (talk) 00:02, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Approve. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:14, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
"East of Yeongdong"
@Goszei Hi, this I'm bringing this up per WP:BRD. I've seen that you've added a link to Yeongdeungpo District. I believe this is an error, as while Yeongdeungpo District is in the same general area as the historical region of Yeongdeungpo, it is not the same entity, and I believe adding a link to the modern-day administrative district is misleading. Feel free to discuss if you disagree, otherwise I have reverted that Wikilink. Cheers! :3 F4U (they/it) 08:46, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

– Per sources below, "Gangnam" most commonly is used to refer to the cultural region, while "Gangnam-gu"/"Gangnam District" is used to refer to the specific administrative district. Kangnam County, Kangnam Mountains, and Kangnam (singer) all have natural disambiguation through their MR-spelling (and are unambiguously not the primary topic). As well, the distinction of "District" (and the redirect Gangnam-gu) provides natural disambiguation for Gangnam District.
- "It was not until I became more familiar with Seoul that I realized that 'Kangnam' had two broader connotations. The broadest encompasses all the districts south of the Han. A slightly more restrictive but more common use of the term referred to multiple, recently developed ku south of the Han, not just Kangnam-gu, which were associated with modern high-rise apartment complexes and the new middle class." (Lett 1998, p. 102)
- "While Gangnam can be defined in different ways–from the narrowest, limited to just the administrative district of Gangnam-gu itself, to the broadest, which would encompass the whole area south of the Han River – I follow the conventional and common definition of Gangnam as an area composed of the three administrative units of Gangnam-gu, Seocho-gu, and Songpa-gu." (Yang 2018, p. 3408)
It's also worth noting that the disambiguation page predates the Gangnam (Seoul) article by 17 years. :3 F4U (they/it) 19:14, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Support. The parenthetical doesn't add much, because Gangnam District is also in Seoul. SilverLocust (talk) 00:06, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
