Wongok-dong (Korean: 원곡동) is neighbourhood of Danwon-gu, Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It is officially divided into Wongok-1-dong, Wongok-2-dong and Wongok-bondong. The multi cultural special zone (town) is located in Wongok-dong. In multi culture town 70% of the people are foreign and 30% of the people are Korean. Wongok-dong has the widest forest area of 34km.
