2026年1月16日，首尔九龙棚户区发生火灾，导致约200人流离失所。大火于凌晨5时左右起火，历时八小时后完全扑灭，未报告伤亡。当局疏散了258名居民，并设立临时避难所。
九龙村位于首尔富裕的江南区边缘，是该市最后仅存的棚户区之一。该村形成于1980年代，当时低收入居民因城市开发项目而被迫迁离，那里的临时房屋使用易燃材料如保温棉和胶合板建造，容易发生电气故障和火灾。火灾于2026年1月16日凌晨5时左右在一座空房中爆发，迅速蔓延到其他区域，促使当局大规模响应。总共部署了1258名人员和106件消防设备赶赴现场。主火势于上午11时34分被控制，并于下午1时28分完全扑灭，起火约八小时后。官员们从该地区疏散了258人，约180名居民被认为失去了家园。目前尚未报告伤亡。首尔市政府在附近一所中学设立临时避难所。内政部长尹浩中指示救援人员：“请检查空房以确保无伤亡，并确保在迅速彻底的疏散和灭火努力中没有消防员受伤。”消防当局计划调查确切原因，但怀疑快速蔓延是由于易燃建筑材料所致。位于九龙山脚下的九龙村是江南地区最后一个贫民窟，正在等待重建。
