Incheon Metropolitan City is a metropolitan city and major seaport on the west coast of South Korea, near Seoul.
Incheon is now home to almost 2.5 million people, and is also under the control of one of the two Free Economic Zone Authorities in Korea, aimed at attracting foreign investment; the city aims to turn itself into a financial and corporate hub along with the Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority.
