https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2506M04] NARA Drive Co., Ltd. is a world-class company in the power-transmission sector, and is recognized as an honest company with the best products and top-quality service as its core values.
NARA Drive is a manufacturer and distributor of gears and power transmissions such as couplings, turning gears, and fluid transmissions. It has acquired a lot of export experience in the Japanese market.

Gear Couplings
NARA Drive’s gear couplings are compact and lightweight, and there is almost no noise or vibration even at high speeds.
Even if there is some shaft misalignment in the coupling during installation and use, it is absorbed by self-adjustment, so it protects the machine part and transmits strong power, and internal lubrication increases the wear resistance of the gear.
They can be used under heavy loads and at high speeds, and can also be used when rotating while sliding. Furthermore, they are easy to apply when the distance between the axes is long and must be connected by an intermediate shaft. Large and special types can also be manufactured.

Jaw Couplings
NARA Drive’s jaw couplings have excellent shock absorption and vibration absorption capacity due to power transmission by polyurethane elements. They offer excellent wear resistance, ozone resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance. They have a simple structure and are small compared to their transmission capacity. Moreover, they do not require lubrication.
“We are confident in our fast delivery, special specifications, price, etc. Please feel free to contact us. We are aiming to enter the Japanese market for planetary gear reducers and couplings for automation,” explained the CEO of the company.

Unveiling the Traditional Charm of the Korean Folk Village

May 16, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

Nestled in the scenic landscape of Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, the Korean Folk Village stands as a vibrant testament to South Korea’s rich cultural heritage. Since opening its doors in October 1974, this expansive 245-acre living museum has transported millions of visitors back to the late Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897), offering an immersive glimpse into traditional Korean life.

A Living Museum of History and Craft

The heart of the Korean Folk Village lies in its meticulous recreation of traditional Korean architecture. The village features 270 authentic houses that were carefully relocated and reconstructed from various regions across Korea. As you wander through the village pathways, you’ll encounter common dwellings, aristocratic residences, provincial government offices (gwana), educational institutions (seowon), Buddhist temples, and even a fortune-teller’s abode—each telling its own story of Joseon-era life.
One of the most enchanting aspects of the village is witnessing traditional Korean craftsmanship in action. Nine specialized ateliers showcase skilled artisans practicing time-honored crafts including blacksmithing, earthenware making, bamboo weaving, and woodworking. Visitors can observe the creation of bamboo ware, wooden utensils, brass tableware, wooden masks, and naturally dyed fabrics, with many items available for purchase as unique souvenirs.
The village truly comes alive through its schedule of dynamic traditional performances. The non-verbal Pungmul Performance combines Korean music and dance in a way that transcends language barriers, while the Eolssigu Jeolssigu parade brings together traditional dances and comic elements from the classic Tale of Chunhyang. Other performances include equestrian displays and traditional wedding ceremonies, each offering a window into historic Korean life.

Cultural Experiences and Seasonal Festivities

The Marketplace recreates the authentic atmosphere of a Joseon-era market, serving around 20 local and seasonal dishes prepared using traditional methods. Visitors can indulge in classic Korean fare such as naengmyeon (cold noodles), bibimbap (mixed rice bowl), and handmade dumpling soup. Korea House serves upscale Korean dishes popular among international tourists, while Gilmokjip offers specialties like bulgogi in a traditional setting. Traditional teahouses serve herbal teas alongside seasonal treats like sweet red-bean porridge in winter.
The Korean Folk Village transforms throughout the year with distinct seasonal experiences. The “Adding the Moonlight” evening festival bathes traditional houses in gentle illumination and features captivating LED performances. The “Horror Village in the Dead of Night” offers ghostly encounters inspired by Joseon-era folklore. Spring brings the “Welcome to Joseon” festival with costumed historical characters, while winter features the King’s Christmas festival and opportunities to try traditional Korean snow sledding.
The village also celebrates traditional Korean holidays with special events—fortune rice cake on Korean New Year, moon house burning during Jeongwol Daeboreum (First Full Moon), and traditional games during Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving).

Visitor Information and Regional Attractions

The Korean Folk Village is located at #90 Minsokchon-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do. Operating hours vary by season, generally running from 9:30 AM until early evening, with extended hours on weekends. Admission fees range from 8,000 to 15,000 KRW, with “Free Pass” options available at higher rates.
Transportation options from Seoul include bus routes No. 5001-1 from Sinnonhyeon Station and No. 4101 from Sungnyemun Gate. Subway travelers can take the Suin-Bundang Line to Sanggal Station and connect to local buses. Visitor feedback consistently highlights the importance of wearing comfortable footwear and recommends renting a hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) to enhance the immersive experience.
The strategic location makes the Korean Folk Village an excellent anchor for exploring other regional attractions. Nearby lies Everland, South Korea’s largest amusement park, and the UNESCO World Heritage Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. Other attractions include the Gyeonggi Children’s Museum, Nam June Paik Art Center, and Hwadam Botanic Garden.
The Korean Folk Village represents a vital bridge connecting contemporary visitors with Korea’s rich cultural heritage. Through its authentic architecture, living traditions, vibrant performances, and seasonal celebrations, the village offers an unparalleled opportunity to experience the essence of traditional Korean life that resonates with visitors of all backgrounds—making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to understand the soul of Korea’s cultural past.

By region, exports increased in seven out of the nine major markets.

Exports to China increased by 3.9% year-on-year to $10.9 billion. While semiconductor exports rebounded, after being in a negative trend this year, exports of wireless communication devices increased by double digits, leading to the overall increase in exports.
Exports to ASEAN increased by 4.5% to $9.4 billion, due to brisk exports of semiconductors and steels.
Exports to the EU achieved the highest-ever performance of $6.7 billion (+18.4%) in the entire period, with double-digit growth rates in automobile and bio-health exports.

Exports to the United States decreased by 6.8% year-on-year to $10.6 billion. Exports of petroleum products, secondary batteries, and wireless communication devices showed brisk growth, but exports of two major items, automobiles and general machinery, decreased.
Imports in April decreased by 2.7% to $53.32 billion. Energy imports amounted to $10 billion, down 20.1% year-on-year. Imports other than energy, including semiconductor equipment (+18.2%), increased by 2.4% to $43.4 billion.
Korea’s trade balance in April recorded a surplus of $4.88 billion, up $3.6 billion year-on-year. The cumulative trade balance from January to April this year was $12.2 billion, an increase of $2.3 billion over the same period of last year.
