I agree that Seoul has much population. But why it has 25 million population? Seoul isn't megacity (aka city with more than 10 million population) now and the number 25 million is maybe the addition to a state which covers Seoul

These are agglomerated population stats and sometimes roll up multiple urban areas - see updated caveat.

Could you indicate the specific page you used a source instead of just "Wikipedia"?

If we’re using Wikipedia as a source you forgot the following cities:

Tehran - 16.0M

Buenos Aires - 15.6M

Istanbul - 15.5M

Kinshasa - 15.0M

Highly Suggest using www.Citypopulation.de for Population statistics! Super organized and helpful and much more accurate than most Wikipedia population statistics.

Thanks Wombat - have updated to suggested source which is more current at Jan 2021. Poor old London dropped off at 14.8 MM.
