Annyeonghaseyo! This is Seowoo, who will serve as your guide for your Korea tour. If you are not familiar with Korean pronunciation, you are welcome to call me Brian. I was born in Seoul and have lived in Busan since I was 14 years old. I have worked in the tourism sector for nearly 15 years, with 4 years of experience as a private tour guide. I primarily operate in Busan, but I also conduct private tours in nearby cities such as Gimhae, Ulsan, Gyeongju, and Pohang. To introduce Busan, the city I primarily cover, it is the second-largest city in Korea and is home to the Port of Busan—the seventh-largest port in the world—which handles 75% of our country's exports and imports. Busan’s growth into the nation’s second-largest city was driven by refugees who settled there after the Korean War and by local residents; together, they overcame poverty and put their utmost effort into working in their respective fields. As we tour the eastern and western parts of Busan, I will explain how the city has grown and where the driving force behind that growth originated. In addition to Busan, I also offer tours of Gyeongju—Silla’s thousand-year-old capital and a representative city of Korea’s ancient history—and Pohang, where the country’s largest steelworks coexist with the natural environment. I hope you will join me in enjoying the southeastern region of Korea. Thank you.

Known for POSCO, a global leader in Korea’s steel industry, Pohang is widely recognized, even among Koreans, as one of the country’s major industrial cities. Yet there is much more to Pohang than its manufacturing heritage. The city is also home to fascinating historical sites and beautiful natural areas, reflecting its growing commitment to tourism and sustainability. In the eastern part of the city, we will explore the contrasting lives of Korean and Japanese fishermen during the colonial period and discover how this complex history shaped the local community. We will then head west to see another side of Pohang, where the enormous steel industrial complex meets the urban and natural environment. Along the way, we will discover how industry, city life, and the environment coexist in this unique coastal city.
