Are the metropolitan cities included?

Yes — Seoul, Busan and the other special and metropolitan cities are in the quiz.

A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.

Why are only eight places asked from their capitals?

The eight cities are their own capitals and Jeju’s capital is Jeju, so the question would give the answer away. The other eight provinces are asked, from Suwon (Gyeonggi) to Changwon (South Gyeongsang).

Example

South Korea map quiz: 9 provinces, 8 cities, and the provincial capitals to place

An exchange student bound for a university in Daejeon learns the map before flying. “Find the place” asks all 17: nine provinces and eight cities (Seoul, Sejong and the six metropolitan cities). “Find it from its capital” asks the eight provinces whose capital has another name; Jeju’s capital is Jeju, and the cities are their own capitals.

Gwangju, the metropolitan city in the south-west, is the smallest target, about 18 pixels across in an 800-pixel-wide quiz; zoom in for it, Incheon and Busan.
Capitals that surprise: Hongseong for South Chungcheong, Muan for South Jeolla and Andong for North Gyeongsang — not Daejeon, Gwangju or Daegu.
Chuncheon, Cheongju and Changwon start alike, so “Choose the capital” can offer them together. It asks the nine provinces only: the eight cities are their own capitals.

Province	Capital	Asked in “Find it from its capital”
Gyeonggi	Suwon	yes
Gangwon	Chuncheon	yes
North Chungcheong	Cheongju	yes
South Chungcheong	Hongseong	yes
Jeonbuk	Jeonju	yes
South Jeolla	Muan	yes
North Gyeongsang	Andong	yes
South Gyeongsang	Changwon	yes
Jeju	Jeju	no — same name

The round ends “Done! 15/17 in 1:24”, say, with the places missed listed; “Practise the ones I missed” replays only those. Names are in English here (Jeonbuk, South Jeolla); the Korean page asks them in Korean.

How it works

Choose whether to find the provinces and cities or find them from their capitals.
Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
