South Korea Mokpo city was known as one of the largest cities in Korea until the late 1970s. During the times of Japanese Occupation, Mokpo city map served as a very crucial port for commercial ventures and transportation. In addition the public educational system here was one of the very best in Korea. All this changed and the city declined of which the main reason was the political moves concerning the presidential elections. Kim Daejung earned full support from the votes of this city, and other political rivals aimed to underdevelop the city to decrease its population and therefore support base for the candidate Kim Daejung. Things are changing now and after the presidential election of Kim Daejung, this city has gone under much development. The South Korea Mokpo city is currently constructing the South Jeolla provincial office, which will strengthen its status as the capital of the region following nearby Gwangju becoming a self-administering special-status city. |
