  Mokpo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mokpo (Mokpo-si) is a city in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, on the southwestern tip of the Korean Peninsula.
Mokpo has frequent train service to Seoul and is the terminus for a number of ferry routes serving islands in the adjacent Yellow Sea.
A recently released movie "Mokpo hangbu" or "Mokpo harbour" reflects a rather undeserved reputation for this sleepy port city as being a centre of organized crime in Korea.

The port city was opened to the outside world for foreign residency and trade on October 1, 1897, by imperial edict by Emperor Kojong, and the Mokpo supervisory Office was established to supervise the commercial trade there.

On the occasion of the centennial of the opening of Mokpo as an international port, Mokpo is preparing to show a new fare to the world, that of a dynamic shipping center of the world, thus casting off the image of gloom and depression captivated in 'The Tears of Mokpo'.
