Ttaegol Village[1] (Korean: 땟골마을), alternatively Ddaetgol Village,[2] is an enclave of Koryo-saram (ethnic Koreans of the mainland former Soviet Union) in Seonbu-dong, Danwon District, Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. In Russian, the area goes by Ttekkol Samgori (Russian: Ттэкколь Самгори, Теколь Самгори), where "samgori" (삼거리; samgeori) is Korean for "three-way intersection". Around August 2022, around 7,000 people in the village were Koryo-saram.[3][4] Along with Gwangju Koryoin Village, it is one of the largest Koryo-saram enclaves in the country.[4]

By August 2022, 12% of the total population of Ansan was of foreign nationality.[3] There is another Koryo-saram enclave in Ansan, which is located in Sangnok District.[5] In August 2022, the total Koryo-saram population in Ansan was around 18,000.[3]
