[edit] Location

Jincheon belongs to the middle of Chungcheongbuk-do. It borders several cities of its province but also meets Gyeonggi-do. The southwestern part of this area is mountainous.

[edit] Industry

Farming is the biggest part of county but it has changed original status as 2nd industry. Hyundai Autonet moved its former factories into Jincheon and got to operate from February 2008.^[1]

CJ also revealed its plan to construct processing complex.

[edit] Festival

Jincheon held every year World Taekwondo Hwarang festival. The festival becomes an opportunity for all Taegwondo manias to get together into its motherlands.

The festival has more meaning as experience not only provides a splendid tour opportunity in Korea, participants also experience the spirit of Korean martial arts.^[2]
