The Key to the Adjustment of Elementary School Attendance Zones is ‘Daeyeon DIEL’ and ‘Uam Doosan We’ve the Zenith’
The Busan Metropolitan City Southern Education Support Office announced the adjustment plan for elementary school attendance zones for the 2026 academic year. The main content of this adjustment concerns the reorganization of elementary school districts due to the entrance of Daeyeon DIEL (Daeyeon 1-dong) and Uam Doosan We’ve the Zenith Ocean City (Uam-dong). These changes are expected to have a positive impact on the local educational environment.
The current administrative notice period is from October 22, 2025, to November 12, and after gathering opinions during this period, a final decision will be made. Following this, the designated zones will be reflected in the 'School District Geographic Information Service (GIS)' to ensure that everyone can easily check.
Previously, there were discussions regarding the attendance zones for Uam-dong and Daeyeon-dong, and concerns have been raised as the announced boundaries remain unchanged.
Daeyeon DIEL: 1st Complex Assigned to Daeyeon Elementary, 2nd and 3rd Complexes Assigned to Shinyeon Elementary
Daeyeon DIEL is a large residential complex consisting of three complexes, and the school attendance environment varies depending on the location of each complex.
According to the administrative notice, residents of the 1st complex will be assigned to Daeyeon Elementary School, while residents of the 2nd and 3rd complexes will be assigned to Shinyeon Elementary School. This assignment is made considering the commuting conditions.
Daeyeon Elementary School is located in Daeyeon 5-dong, approximately 1.1 km away from the 1st complex of DIEL. It takes about 18 minutes to walk there. However, students will need to cross a wide road (Suyoung-ro), making it somewhat difficult for younger children to commute independently.
For the 2nd and 3rd complexes, the distance to Shinyeon Elementary is about 800 meters via a walking path within the complex, taking roughly 11 minutes. Utilizing this pathway provides a relatively safer commute.
In particular, households living in buildings 208 to 211 on the south side have the easiest access to Shinyeon Elementary, making it more advantageous.
For this reason, there may be a significant difference in preferences among households with children even within the same complex.
Uam Doosan We’ve the Zenith Ocean City: Divided into ‘Shinyeon Elementary vs Uam Elementary’ Even Within the Complex
Located in Uam-dong, Doosan We’ve the Zenith Ocean City is a large apartment complex consisting of 29 buildings. Uniquely, the elementary school assignments differ based on the positions of each building within the complex.
According to the administrative notice, the buildings assigned to Shinyeon Elementary are the 109th to 119th buildings and T103 to T105, which are located on the northern line of the complex. In contrast, the buildings assigned to Uam Elementary are the 101st to 108th buildings, 120th to 123rd buildings, T101 to T102, and the 201st building, situated on the southern line of the complex.
Households assigned to Shinyeon Elementary are likely to be included in a living area similar to that of the Daeyeon DIEL school district. Consequently, the probability of progressing to Daeyeon Middle School is expected to increase. On the other hand, households assigned to Uam Elementary are likely to be connected to Gamman Middle School or Donghang Middle School according to the existing district system, suggesting a potential difference in school districts even within the same apartment complex.
This differentiation in school districts could also impact the real estate market in the future. Families assigned to Shinyeon Elementary can enjoy the ‘Daeyeon district premium’, whereas families assigned to Uam Elementary may see a drop in preference from families with children. Therefore, this division of school districts will play a significant role in housing choices.
Daeyeon and Uam Districts: Middle School Assignments Will Be the Key Moving Forward
The criteria for middle school assignments based on attendance zones are not clear. This can only be determined by examining the assignment ratios of elementary school graduates.
If graduates of Shinyeon Elementary progress to Daeyeon Middle School, the assignment line of Shinyeon Elementary will lead to the expansion of the Daeyeon district. In contrast, if graduates of Uam Elementary are assigned to Gamman Middle School or Donghang Middle School, the separation of districts within the Nam-gu area will become more pronounced.
Such assignment processes can greatly influence students, making it essential to monitor them closely.
Families planning for their children's entry into elementary and middle schools should check the official announcement of school district confirmations at the Busan Metropolitan City Southern Education Support Office before moving in. Once the adjustment plan is finalized, detailed information can be verified for each building through the ‘Busan Education Office’s School District Information Service (GIS).’
Conclusion: School Districts Determine 'Real Living Value'
Daeyeon DIEL and Uam Doosan We’ve the Zenith are representative new apartment complexes in Nam-gu, garnering attention for their location, brand, and scale. However, as the finalization of elementary school districts approaches, even within the same complex, circumstances may change.
Especially for families with younger children, it is important to comprehensively consider walking safety, school accessibility, and middle school connectivity. The school district adjustment plan for the 2026 academic year is a crucial factor that greatly influences real demand, having a significant ripple effect that goes beyond mere changes in school attendance zones.
Thus, it is vital to analyze and select based on these factors thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How will the elementary school attendance zones for Daeyeon DIEL be adjusted for the 2026 academic year?
Daeyeon DIEL will have the 1st complex assigned to Daeyeon Elementary and the 2nd and 3rd complexes assigned to Shinyeon Elementary.
According to the adjustment plan for the 2026 academic year from the Busan Southern Education Support Office, students residing in the 1st complex of Daeyeon DIEL will be assigned to Daeyeon Elementary School, while those in the 2nd and 3rd complexes will be placed at Shinyeon Elementary School. The distance from the 1st complex to Daeyeon Elementary is about 1.1 km, taking roughly 18 minutes to walk; however, crossing the 6–7 lane Suyoung-ro can make commuting somewhat difficult for younger students. In contrast, the 2nd and 3rd complexes are approximately 800 meters from Shinyeon Elementary, taking about 11 minutes on foot, and can utilize the pathway within the complex for a relatively safe commute. There may be significant differences in the commuting environment and preferences among different complexes within the same structure.
Q. What is the basis for the elementary school attendance zone assignments for the Uam Doosan We’ve the Zenith Ocean City apartments?
The assignment is divided by apartment buildings: the northern section is assigned to Shinyeon Elementary, and the southern section is assigned to Uam Elementary.
Doosan We’ve the Zenith Ocean City in Uam-dong is a large complex consisting of 29 blocks, and the administrative draft indicates that assignments differ based on the specific building within the complex. Buildings 109 to 119 and T103 to T105 in the northern district are assigned to Shinyeon Elementary, while buildings 101 to 108, 120 to 123, T101 to T102, and 201 are assigned to Uam Elementary, located to the south. Households assigned to Shinyeon Elementary are likely to connect with the Daeyeon district, while those assigned to Uam Elementary are likely to continue from Gamman Middle School or Donghang Middle School, leading to differences in school preferences even within the same complex.
Q. How are the elementary school assignments in the Daeyeon and Uam areas linked to middle school assignments?
Middle school assignments after elementary school graduation vary based on the assignment ratios of each school and need confirmation.
There are currently no clear criteria for middle school assignments related to the adjustment plan of the elementary school attendance zones in Daeyeon and Uam. If graduates of Shinyeon Elementary progress to Daeyeon Middle School, the assignment line of Shinyeon Elementary will indicate the expansion of the Daeyeon district. Conversely, graduates from Uam Elementary are more likely to be assigned to Gamman Middle School or Donghang Middle School. Therefore, middle school assignments will depend on the assignment ratios of elementary school graduates and should be consistently monitored until final decisions are made. This process could significantly affect students' educational trajectories.
Q. What are the main implications of the adjustment plan for elementary school attendance zones for the 2026 academic year from the Busan Southern Education Support Office?
Adjustments in school districts have a substantial impact on real living value and preferences in real estate.
The adjustment plan for elementary school attendance zones for the 2026 academic year from the Busan Southern Education Support Office primarily revolves around the reorganization of school districts due to the entrance of Daeyeon DIEL and Uam Doosan We’ve the Zenith. This means that even within the same complex, school assignments may differ, with commuting safety, accessibility, and connections to middle schools becoming significant criteria for choosing a residence. Families with young children should carefully examine this adjustment, as the differences in real estate prices based on school districts can be pronounced. It is advisable to check accurate information through the Busan Education Office’s 'School District Information Service (GIS)' after the final district confirmations.
