Busan, Korea’s second-largest city, is known for its stunning mountains and beaches. Following the Korean War, Busan experienced rapid growth driven by industries like shipping, machinery, textiles, and shoes. This growth was fueled by the city's quick adoption of outside cultures, integrating and adapting them uniquely over time. Busan has further elevated its status by hosting major cultural events such as the Busan International Film Festival, Busan Biennale, and G-Star, blending regional and global elements. Recently, young entrepreneurs have shaped the culinary, cultural, and art scenes, contributing to the port city’s unique identity.
