(syncopation) Removing the opportunities for competition has built up the monopoly of certain economic power whose center became the very ruler only to sacrifice all the industries in Joseon.

After independence

In 1949, Mokpo Bu attained the title of Mokpo si (city), continuing to expand its area until now. This major occurrence was brought about by the SOC government, altering the administrative region. In 1973 and 1987, a greater area was determined to belong to Mokpo city, including one of the most famous tourist spots, Samhakdo, which means three cranes laid above the sea. Until 1999, land reclamation was sped up to make land for a near-shore island of Samhakdo and the second stage of developing lands. The projects also covered a coastal filling process near North Harbor and building a new port in Chungmu dong.
