neologism that refers to major universities located in Seoul. This

limited to universities. The concentration of the Seoul Capital
Area, the metropolitan area of Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi
Province, is accelerating in various fields such as education,
residence, and employment. Due to this acceleration, various
problemssuchassaturationandoverpopulationhavearisen.
It is common for the capital city to become the center of the
country. But in Korea, more than 50 percent of the population
resides in the Seoul capital area. Even the population of Greater
London, the UK¡¯s metropolitan area, and Ile-de-France,
the metropolitan area of France, which are considered to be
heavily concentrated metropolitan areas in Europe, account for
13.4 percent and 18 percent of the country¡¯s total population,
respectively. This shows that Korea¡¯s population density in
the Seoul capital area is seriously high compared to the other
metropolitan areas in the world. Due to extreme concentration
