Location

Jincheon belongs to the middle of North Chungcheong Province. It borders several cities of its province but also meets Gyeonggi Province. The southwestern part of this area is mountainous.[citation needed]

Industry

Farming has moved[when?] from the second most successful industry to the major contribution of this region.[citation needed] Hyundai Autonet moved its former factories into Jincheon and got to operate from February 2008.[3]

CJ[clarification needed] also revealed its plan to construct a processing complex.[citation needed]

In a Korean village, a Squid Game doll also had been spotted.

Festival

Jincheon holds a World Taekwondo Hwarang festival every year.[4] The festival is an opportunity for all enthusiasts of Taekwondo to come together.

The festival has more meaning as experience, since it not only provides a splendid tour opportunity in Korea, but participants also experience the spirit of Korean martial arts.
