This is difficult because the catch has decreased and the species of fish caught are not the same as before, but the price of fish has actually fallen.
The situation is the same even if you visit a rather large factory in Changsin-dong.
I visited Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do again after two years, which was the construction site of the world's largest semiconductor production line.
As the steel industry fell into a recession, Pohang's economy also suffered.
There are no signs of recovery in production, which has decreased due to the domestic demand slump.
The prices of pesticides and rice continue to rise, but the price of rice remains the same.

The domestic economy also shows no signs of improving.
