Buyeo County
administrative division of South Korea
Buyeo County (Korean: 부여군) is a county in South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. Buyeo-eup, the county's capital, was the site of the capital of Baekje from 538-660 AD, during which it was called Sabi.
Famous people associated with Buyeo County in more recent times include noted stem-cell researcher Hwang Woo-suk.
Geography
Buyeo is located at the southern area of Chungcheongnam-do, the heart of the Korean peninsula.
During the Three Kingdoms Era, the capital of Baekje was moved to present-day Buyeo-eup (then called Sabi) on account of crowding in the former capital, which was near present-day Seoul. A fortress called Garimseong was constructed for defending the new capital. Buyeo County has numerous historical sites from this era, such as the mountain fortresses (sanseong) at Seongheung, Buso, and Cheong, the tumuli at Neungsan-ri, and the temple site at Gunsu-ri, all designated Historic Sites of South Korea.

Commerce
It wasn't until the early 2000s that Lotteria moved into the area, but in recent years it has become home to a variety of franchises.
As a traditional city, many coffee shops are built in the style of hanoks or have a Hanok concept.
On 8 September 2013, a new Lotte Outlet Buyeo branch was opened in Gyuram-myeon.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Buyeo County” as administrative division of South Korea. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as administrative division of South Korea. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q50247. VIAF identifies the subject as 2825149619445804010009. The Library of Congress control number is n82269479. Authority coordinates are 36.282, 126.912. 3 of 6 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
