In English, I would not try to use just one word. For some cities, there is an accepted term, eg New Yorkers, Torontonians. But for most cities, there is not.

I have most often heard the term "Seoulite" used or "person from Seoul." I have on rare occassion heard the term Seoul-simin; however, I think this term is just a transliteration of a Korean term, not the proper English word.

Today the term 'Seoulite' seems to be more familiar than others to ordinary people who live in Seoul, including me. FWIW, it also refers to an album by a famous K-pop artist.
