Danwon-gu
Danwon-gu is a district of the city of Ansan in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The name `Danwon` came from the nickname of Kim Hong Do, a famous Korean artist of the 18th century. The previous name of Kim Hong Do`s Hometown was "Ansan", the residents wanted to rename the district so it related with their great artist Kim Hong-do.[1]
