History Godeok means "high virtue" in Korean. During the Late 14th century, Yangjung Lee, a public officer of the Goryeo period, strongly rejected a conciliatory offer to turn into Joseon dynasty, a new regime after the Goryeo dynasty. Due to his high loyalty to his government, he was admired by the general public and they called his residential area "Godeok".http://dong.gangdong.go.kr:8081/pub/dong/3240043/01_dong/03/01_dong_03.jsp In 1995, Seoul Subway Line 5 was passed through this area stopping at Godeok Station and Myeongil Station.
