Brehm U.S. Embassy, Seoul Prepared by: Susan B. Phillips Seh Won KIM Report Highlights: This report provides information about the market for U.S. processed food products outside of the capital city of Seoul. Increasingly, FAS Cooperators, MAP participants, and exporters are expanding their efforts to include these other major Korean urban areas. While Seoul marketers and consumers lead the country in innovation, the ATO finds growing interest in provincial areas for U.S. processed food products. Includes PSD changes: No Includes Trade Matrix: No Unscheduled Report Seoul ATO [KS2], KS GAIN Report #KS3011 Page 1 of 8 MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PROVINCIAL CITIES INTRODUCTION There are seven metropolitan cities in Korea: Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Kwangju, Daejon and Ulsan. In order to be designated as a metropolitan city in Korea the population of the city must exceed one million. The combined population of these six metropolitan cities except Seoul (of which the city population is 10 million) is about 13 million. The Seoul-Incheon "corridor" comprises a largely urban area with a population of about 22 million people. Although the markets in the cities outside Seoul are still small, they are growing. There is potential for faster growth of imported food products in these provincial areas, while the future growth rate of the market in Seoul slows. In the past, many imported processed foods were not widely available in the retail sector of provincial metropolitan cities, but thanks to the launching of discount stores and large-scale department stores in recent years, many processed foods are now available at these outlets in these other cities.

However, all of 4 bikesharing programs do not necessarily become a sustainable transportation mode.

  • Press Release Gallery
    Pontone PRESS RELEASE GALLERY Lee Jeonglok Parallel Worlds: Tree of Life & Nabi 30 June – 23 July 2017 Opening reception Thursday 29 June | 6–8 pm Lee Jeonglok is an established Korean artist, represented in many international collections, with an extensive, world-wide record of solo and group exhibitions. He has shown frequently with the Pontone Gallery and we are pleased to showcase these new and exclusive works. Lee Jeonglok uses photography to create and record his world. He makes mysterious and evocative images of strange and magical events. These happen in carefully chosen, personally significant landscapes, realised by a thorough mastery of photographic technique. The production of these pieces is a complex and painstaking process. These images are not made digitally, but by an ‘in camera’ technique. This means using long and multiple exposures, manipulating artificial light and deploying various props on site and in real time. The physicality and engagement of this process is important to the artist. He states that this effort allows him to Tree of Life 6-1 reveal another, parallel world. 2017 | C-Type Print | Edition of 7 + AP 2 | 152 x 120 cm (60 x 47 in) ‘Nabi’, the butterfly, is a valued image and symbol. It is an interlocutor to the spiritual world, somewhere that is significant for this artist to locate and reveal in his work. This image, created out of light, multiplies into clusters and bunches, forming clouds that glow and sparkle in the landscape. Existing only for an instant, the length of a photoflash, these ‘Nabi’ express something other, a world conjured out of the artist’s perception and now revealed to us.
