Pohang Steelworks (포항제철소)

Explanation

Pohang Steelworks, also known as POSCO, was built at Yeongilman Bay from 1970 until 1981 to shift the focus of the country's growth engine from the agriculture-oriented primary industry of the 1960s to the heavy chemical industry. Photography within the factory is prohibited, making a visit here key to fully experiencing all POSCO has to offer.
