Etymology
The exact origin of the name "Hwanghak-dong" is unclear. However, as documented in the "Daegyungseongjeongdo" from 1936, it is suggested that during that period, the area was predominantly fields, and the name "Hwanghak" was associated with a sudden appearance, possibly linked to this context. Furthermore, there exists an ancient natural slope known as "Baekhak-dong" within the present Sindang 5-dong vicinity, leading to speculation that the name "Hwanghak-dong" was coined in contrast to it.
