Suji District (Korean: 수지구; RR: Suji-gu), or Suji, is one of the three city districts in Yongin, South Korea which is approximately 29 km south of Seoul.^[1] Suji became a city district on October 31, 2005, about nine years after Yongin officially became a city. When Yongin was established in 1996, both urban and rural areas were covered to become a part of the city; thus to this day, Yongin's urbanization is varied throughout different regions of the city. Suji is one of the most urbanized areas of Yongin, as it borders Seongnam's Bundang District and Suwon, two more well developed areas. Home to the newly built Shinsegae Department Store and Dankook University in one of its towns, Jukjeon, Suji is rapidly developing as Yongin becomes more and more urbanized. In recent years, the district has attracted upper-class Koreans, with the completion of the Samsung East Palace in 2010.
