Ang mga pinakamalaking lungsod ng Timog Korea ay may nagsasariling estadong katumbas sa mga lalawigan. Ang Seoul na pinakamalaking lungsod at kabisera, ay iniuri bilang teukbyeolsi (Special City ), habang ang mga sumunod na anim na lungsod (tingnan ang talaan sa ibaba) ay inuri bilang gwangyeoksi (Metropolitan Cities ). Iniuri naman bilang si ("cities") ang mga mas-maliit na lungsod, at nasa pamamahala ng mga lalawigan ang mga ito katulad ng mga kondado.

Mga nota
Ang pangalan "Seoul" ay hindi nagmumula sa hanja. Ang opisyal na salin sa Tsino ay 首爾 /首尔 , isang transkripsyong batay sa bigkas "Seoul", subalit nanatiling malimit na ginagamit ang 漢城 /汉城 . Bilang hulapi, ang panitik gyeong (京 ) ay ginagamit, na ibig-sabihi'y "kabisera".
Itinakda ang Seoul bilang isang "Special Independent City " (Teukbyeol-jayusi; 특별자유시 ; 特別自由市 ) hiwalay mula sa Lalawigan ng Gyeonggi noong Agosto 16, 1946; ito'y naging "Special City " noong Agosto 15, 1949.
