The largest cities in South Korea have self-governing status equivalent to that of provinces. Seoul, the largest city and capital, is classified as a Teukbyeolshi (Special City), while the next 6 largest cities (see the list below) are classified as Gwangyeokshi (Metroplitan Cities; see Special cities of Korea). Smaller cities are classified as shi ("cities") and are under provincial jurisdiction, at the same level as counties (see Administrative divisions of South Korea).
