Beginners’ Guide to: Jeju Island

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

Located southwest of the Korean Peninsula, Jeju Island is the largest island of Korea. The island is one of the most relaxing vacation spots found in Korea thanks to its unique local atmosphere and beautiful natural environment. The volcanic lava tubes that make up nearly 10% of the island’s area are a designated UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone, Manjanggul Lava Tube, and Hallasan National Park are must-see sights. Additional attractions include forests, waterfalls, and parasitic cones. With so many beautiful things to see, it can be hard work to plan your itinerary. Following our guide, you can enjoy a stress-free, relaxing retreat, no matter which part of Jeju you choose to visit.

UNESCO World Heritage Course

Rising from the sea, Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone
Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone, a landmark attraction of Jeju, was formed about 5,000 years ago from an eruption of magma on the ocean floor. It is especially famous as a sunrise viewing spot, known to be one of the top ten exquisite sceneries of Jeju Island.
Besides viewing the sunrise, Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone is also known to be an excellent trekking spot. The Seongsan-Ojo Trail connects two villages by crossing the peak. Another popular trail, the Jijil Trail, offers a closer look at the UNESCO-designated geopark as well as Jeju’s local culture. Walking along one of these paths is recommended to really experience the area; walking all the way to the summit offers views of both the vast volcanic crater in the center and the blue ocean surrounding the area. To complete your trip, head to Seongsanpo Port to watch haenyeo (female divers) at work.

Feel the breeze at Cape Seopjikoji
A short drive from Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak will take you to Cape Seopjikoji. The name comes from the Jeju dialect for a “Cape of Small Land” due to its peculiar cliff formation that protrudes into the ocean. The picturesque harmony of the hill and ocean attract tourists all year round. You might even be able to sight Jeju ponies grazing on the field of grass.
Walking northeast along the cliff, you will arrive at Bulgeunoreum Parasitic Cone, offering an exquisite view of a white lighthouse with the dark blue sea in the background. Additional noteworthy attractions of Cape Seopjikoji are the Glasshouse and Yumin Art Gallery, two masterpieces designed by world-renowned architect Ando Tadao. The two buildings blend in remarkably well with the surrounding nature.

Observe the beauty of ridges at Yongnunioreum Parasitic Cone
You can’t say you’ve been to Jeju Island without visiting one of the many oreum, Jeju dialect for parasitic cone. There are approximately 360 oreum scattered throughout Jeju. Among these hundreds of oreums, Yongnunioreum Parasitic Cone is undoubtedly the most well-known. It’s not far from Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone and has a moderately gentle slope, providing a fairly convenient trail for trekking.
Both Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone and Udo Island can be seen from the peak of Yongnunioreum, offering an unforgettable panorama. The view of curvy ridges along with the ocean also serves as an excellent backdrop for memorable photos. If you are looking for a perfect spot for souvenir photos, be sure to check out Yongnunioreum Parasitic Cone.

A long-lasting garden of nutmeg yews, Bijarim Forest
In contrast to Yongnunioreum’s open vistas, Bijarim Forest is an ideal spot for a relaxing forest retreat. The dense forest is home to hundreds of bija (nutmeg yew) trees, and is the largest forest in the world to be made up of one plant species. Most of the trees in the forest have lived for 500 to 700 years, earning the forest the nickname “Forest of a Thousand Years.” Must-see sights while at Bijarim Forest are none other than the 800-year old tree and the conjoined nutmeg yews.

Enter the mysterious underground castle, Manjanggul Lava Tube
Of all the oreum on Jeju, Geomunoreum is the only parasitic cone to be designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. The oreum holds over 20 caves within its body, although only Manjanggul Lava Tube is open to the public. With its profoundly mysterious and grand appearance, taking a step inside the cave is like stepping into Hades’ underworld. Follow the tunnel of articulate lava rock formations, and you will soon reach a giant rock pillar that indicates the end of the cave. The cave’s temperature fluctuates within 11-21℃ regardless of season, allowing visitors to enjoy the magnificent cave all year round.

Seogwipo Nature & Culture Course

Enjoy artwork along the ocean, Jeongbangpokpo Falls and Waljong Art Gallery
Seogwipo, which includes the entire southern half of Jeju, exhibits a great amount of sunshine and warm temperatures, attracting crowds of tourists all year round. One attraction many people choose to visit is Jeongbangpokpo Falls, one of the top three waterfalls on Jeju Island. The water falls 23 meters straight down off the cliff and into a pool before flowing to the sea.
Located on the cliff behind Jeongbangpokpo Falls is Waljong Art Gallery. This gallery is dedicated to the Korean artist Lee Wal Jong, who settled in Jeju decades ago. The gallery is filled with his inspiring artworks, expressing the beauty of Jeju in his own unique way. The strategic location and glass-walled second floor also offer visitors an amazing view looking over the sea.

Nature-made art, Jusangjeolli Cliff and Cheonjeyeonpokpo Falls
Jeju Jungmun Resort is blessed with not only beautiful natural scenery but also with numerous entertainment and convenience facilities catering to both domestic and international tourists. Jusangjeolli Cliff, near the International Convention Center Jeju, delivers a sight to behold with its gigantic rock pillars running along the costal line. Cheonjeyeonpokpo Falls, a three-tiered waterfall, is another attraction not to be missed in Seogwipo. While the first section of the waterfall is only active after rain, the second and third sections are active all year round.

Rekindle childhood memories at the Teddy Bear Museum
Another favorite tourist attraction at Jungmun Resort is the Teddy Bear Museum. The museum boasts quite an impressive collection of teddy bears from all over the world. Exhibition halls are designed with different themes, such as 20th century history exhibition and fable parodies, all portrayed by teddy bears. The Teddy Bear Museum is a popular museum loved by visitors of all ages, recommended as an excellent place to visit with friends, families, or even on a date. The museum also has a souvenir shop, cafeteria, and a park that offers a splendid view.

Downtown Jeju History & Culture Course

Discover the history and culture of Jeju Island
Yongduam Rock, a top tourist attraction in downtown Jeju, is one of the many natural wonders of Jeju Island. Formed by underwater lava millions of years ago, eons of weathering from the rain and wind have formed it into the likeness of a dragon’s head.
After visiting Yongduam Rock, head down to the Jeju Folklore & Natural History Museum to learn about the development of the island people and culture over time. Not only does Jeju Island have its own dialect, it also has a distinct culture that separates it from the rest of mainland Korea, all of which you can see and enjoy from a quick tour of the museum. Right next to the museum is Samseonghyeol Shrine, a religious site that is also the birthplace of Jeju’s ancient mythology. The old trees and traces of the past create a devotional atmosphere.

Korea’s Exports Last Year Totaled $683.8 Billion, the Highest Ever

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

Last year’s Korean exports broke an all-time record. Semiconductor exports recorded the highest ever, leading overall exports. Last December’s exports also increased by 6.6%, continuing the 15th consecutive month of positive growth.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) recently released that the nation’s exports in 2024 were tallied at $683.8 billion, up 8.2% from the previous year.
Imports decreased by 1.6% from the previous year to $642.67 billion. The trade balance thus recorded a surplus of $51.8 billion.
Annual exports surpassed the previous record of $683.6 billion achieved in 2022. Daily average exports ($2.53 billion) also surpassed the previous record of $2.51 billion.
MOTIE analyzed that the improved export performance is attributable to the fact that IT items such as semiconductors and consumer goods showed favorable trends evenly in a situation where international oil prices stabilized downward.
Exports of a total of eight out of the 15 major export items increased. Semiconductor exports increased 43.9% year-on-year to $141.9 billion, breaking the previous record of $129.2 billion in 2022.
It is evaluated that the semiconductor exports expanded centered on high value-added items such as DDR5 and high-bandwidth memory (HBM), despite the decline in general memory prices in the fourth quarter of last year, and showed an upward trend toward the end of the year.
Shipbuilding showed an increase of 17.6%, petrochemicals 5.0%, and biohealth 13.1%.
Automobiles recorded $70.8 billion in export sales, a 0.1% decrease year-on-year due to some production disruptions caused by strikes in major automakers and parts companies in the second half of the year, but exceeded $70 billion for the second consecutive year.
Among the nine major export markets, exports to seven regions, including the USA, China, and ASEAN, increased. Exports to the USA increased by 10.5% to $127.8 billion, while exports to China increased by 6.6% to $133 billion. In particular, exports to the USA broke the record for the seventh consecutive year.
December’s exports increased by 6.6% year-on-year to $61.38 billion, while imports during the same period increased by 3.3% to $54.89 billion.
As exports continued to increase for 15 consecutive months, the trade balance recorded a surplus of $6.49 billion, continuing a surplus trend for 19 consecutive months.

In addition to overseas exhibition-centered marketing, PLAMIX is increasing the brand value of its own through the Internet, website, and posting of technical YouTube videos.
Providing customers with added value by utilizing technology is also an important factor for the development and growth of the company ― but in addition to the technological value, another parallel value that PLAMIX pursues is to seek the improvement of human value through understanding, respect, and harmony of all employees working together.
PLAMIX believes that creativity and imagination that evolve and renew through human-centered corporate management that works together with customers’ voices and suggestions will maximize technological value that goes together with human value.

In 2024, PLAMIX won recognition for its efforts in enhancing technological value ― with exports of US$5 million and a presidential citation. And it is expected that the company will be growing and developing into an ESG company ― through selection as a KOICA’s IBS business operator.
“We recognize that we have grown by adding technological value through harmony and respect during the difficult and challenging 2024, and we promise to strive even harder this year by becoming an ESG company that pursues environmental and social values along with technological value,” remarked Je Young-hwan, CEO of the company.

Buyeo

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

Paving the Way to the Future of Buyeo
as a Strong Economy County

By responding to regional crises through investment attraction, overseas agriculture expansion, local currency, and global branding, Mayor Park Jung-hyun is promoting engines for Buyeo’s future growth

Park Jung-hyun, Mayor of Buyeo County, is a politician who succeeded in winning re-election in Buyeo, and is a representative figure of Chungcheongnam-do Province who enjoys wide support beyond political parties and factions. Based on his experience as an entrepreneur during his younger days, he is helping to create practical results in the economic and welfare sectors – thanks to his customer-centered thinking and outstanding business execution capability.

His notable achievements include the global marketing of Goodtrae agricultural products, expansion of agriculture to overseas, fostering the largest smart farm in Korea, attracting foreign investment companies, expanding Goodtrae pay incentives, and the Social Impact and Compensation Business (SIB). We met with Mayor Park in order to listen to his views on recent hot issues and future plans.

Mayor Park Jung-hyun

What is your vision for the future of Buyeo County?
Rural local governments across Korea are facing the threat of extinction due to population decline and aging. Given this situation, the most important value is sustainability. The future development strategy of Buyeo County is to secure economic growth momentum to build a ‘sustainable rural community.’ It is thus intended to create a ‘Buyeo where people want to live.’

What are Buyeo County’s goals and strategies for attracting corporate investments?
Buyeo County was selected as an Opportunity Development Zone (ODZ) by Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) in 2024. Last year, it attracted Hangke, a Chinese partner of LG Energy Solution, to Buyeo County, gaining an investment of KRW 65 billion. In order to foster the County, with its ancient capital of Baekje, as a historical and cultural city, the County is visualizing its plan to build a 5-star hotel, and an investment of KRW 150 billion is expected to be made soon.
We are converting undesirable facilities into preferred facilities. For example, our bio-gasification facility was selected for a public contest of 47.1 billion won. We aim to achieve sustainable development through eco-friendly energy production and resource recycling. We plan to actively attract bio companies in connection with the selected ODZ.


Buyeo is known to be an advanced county in agriculture. Could we hear more about any strategies for strengthening agricultural competitiveness?
Buyeo County is generating annual sales of KRW 900 billion in the field of horticultural facilities such as smart farms. Buyeo County has global competitiveness in smart farm operations. In addition, the County has been planning and promoting the plant leather industry, which replaces animal leather and artificial leather, for more than 10 years. Buyeo County is the largest mushroom producing region in Korea, and is utilizing mushroom mycelia as plant leather materials. Currently, a prototype has been developed, and the vegan leather development and demonstration cluster construction project has won a government contest, securing KRW 13 billion in project expenses until 2027.
As for overseas agriculture, Buyeo County is carrying out a K-Goodtrae rice cultivation project in Namangan Province, Uzbekistan, and it is expected to produce seven tons of rice per hectare. The crops produced in this way will be exported to neighboring countries. Buyeo County’s agriculture will contribute to the globalization of K-agriculture, and also contribute to the nation’s food security.

What is the globalization strategy of the agricultural specialty brand Goodtrae?
Goodtrae is the No. 1 local agricultural brand in Korea. We will increase Goodtrae’s international recognition through global marketing. We are pursuing various projects such as securing sales channels for Goodtrae agricultural products through collaboration with Lotte Wellfood.

What is your future economic strategy for balanced regional development?
Goodtrae Pay is recognized for having protected local businesses, leading to stable growth of the regional economy. Goodtrae Pay in fact created KRW 52.7 billion of circulated added value in Buyeo County.
In the administrative sector, Buyeo County secured the largest amount of KRW 148.1 billion in investments ever among Chungcheongnam-do’s balanced development projects.
What we sensed through our interview with the Mayor Park Jung-hyun was that he is administrating the county as if he were a leader of a strong but small nation, despite the fact that he is a Mayor in a lower-level local government. The Mayor is playing a leading role in responding to the crisis of local extinction through overseas agricultural development, attracting foreign investment, and global city marketing targeting the global market. Thus, Mayor Park Jung-hyun is seen to be building a foundation for a bigger global small, but strong, county.

The molten iron held in the concast holder provides a large head of iron above the graphite die, thus reducing the risk of internal shrinkage defects in the pulled bar, whilst also allowing the lighter impurities in the iron to float upwards in the holder. This ensures homogenous material properties in the finished product.

Due to its excellent quality and mechanical properties, HANSBAR is being applied to critical components across various industries – such as for pneumatic and hydraulic parts, rotors for high vacuum pumps and compressors, gears and shafts for automobiles. By adopting HANSBAR in your products you will immediately increase your competiveness in your market.

HANSBAR is produced in round, square or rectangular shapes. HANS Materials Inc. is the only manufacturer of continuous cast iron bars in South Korea, and as such they can be produced and supplied according to the material properties and sizes required by the customer.

A spokesperson for the company commented, “Our technical team will suggest the optimum solutions to your problems.”
