Pohang Steelworks (포항제철소)

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.
