The SNCA is technically distinct frae the Seoul Metropolitan Aurie (SMA), as the umwhile is a fixed entity, whilk the latter refers tae places currently considert unner the economic, industrial an cultural influence o Seoul. Syne the extension o the Seoul Metropolitan Subway (Korail commuter) tae Asan, Chungcheongnam-do an Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, some hae classifee'd Asan, Cheonan, Chuncheon as nou athin the SMA, but no athin the SNCA. Housomeivver, the terms SNCA, SMA an Sudogwon are lairgely analogous an uised interchyngeably.
