Sangdong Charcoal Village / studio_suspicion
Sangdong-eup is a place where the Sangdong mine, which produced the amount of tungsten that accounts for 10% of the total tungsten in the world, was located. Until the 1970s, more than 24,000 people, including miners were lived in the region. After the mine was abandoned, the number of residents was decreased to 1,200 or more in the 2010s. The region now has the smallest population in South Korea. For revitalization of the region, the local government stepped in to help. It contributed 30 charcoal sauna rooms to Sangdong-eup with charcoal, a local product as the theme of tourism.
