Kangnam County is one of the two suburban counties of Pyongyang, North Korea. It is north-west of Songrim, north-east of Hwangju County, west of Chunghwa County, and south of Nakrang-guyok. It is the location of cooperative farms and smaller industrial complexes. It became part of Pyongyang in May 1963, when it was separated from South P'yŏngan.{{citation needed|date=July 2010}} In 2010, it was administratively reassigned from Pyongyang to North Hwanghae; foreign media attributed the change as an attempt to relieve shortages in Pyongyang's food distribution system.{{citation|url=http://www.asahi.com/english/TKY201007160470.html|periodical=Asahi Shimbun|date=2010-07-17|accessdate=2010-07-19|title=Pyongyang now more than one-third smaller; food shortage issues suspected}} However, it was returned to Pyongyang in 2011.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nkeconwatch.com/2012/02/29/kangnam-moved-into-pyongyang/|title = Kangnam moved into Pyongyang}}
