How it's used
This term is strictly a proper noun used to refer to specific geographical locations. It does not carry any descriptive meaning in Cantonese, so it is only encountered when discussing travel plans or geography. When referring to the Korean town, it is almost exclusively used in the context of tourism or K-drama filming locations.
Examples
I will go to Cheongpyeong for a trip next month.
