The newest, Korea's Incheon International Airport, was built by leveling an island in the Yellow Sea 30 miles west of Seoul.
Korea is pointing proudly to the new airport as something of a beacon for the nation's economic promise, but as the sixth large airport to be opened in Asia within the last decade it also is the latest testament to the boom in Asia's aviation economy.
The airport attributed that to a slowdown in exports to North America, Taiwan and Japan, but that is probably driven mostly by the economic slowdown in the United States.

Kimpo airport is now used for domestic passengers and since 2002 World Cup Korea/Japan, the flight between Seoul and Tokyo has been operated.
The domestic terminal of recent days was International Terminal 1 (1980s~2001), so I think the passenger terminal is spacious enough, and the structure is pretty simple, you wouldn't miss your way.
Consequently, I think Kimpo Airport is good for the 2nd airport of the capital of certain nation.

 Korean Air Flight 7
After refueling at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska the aircraft took off, flying southwards for Seoul-Kimpo International Airport (now Gimpo Airport) but at a course (245 degrees) that would take the craft much further westward than usual, cutting across the Kamchatka peninsula and then over the Sea of Okhotsk towards Sakhalin.
An International Civil Aviation Organization investigation concluded that the course taken was accidental: a result of the autopilot being either left in heading mode or having been switched to INS when outside of the range for the INS to capture the correct track.
It is believed that the airliner was briefly on a matching course close to a USAF RC-135 northeast of Kamchatka and as the aircraft diverged the Soviet radar tracked one signal heading away and one coming dangerously close.
