For generations, Haepung has been a significant location for trade with china and japan and as a result, haepung has a unique mix of culture that blends all three countries together. Due to its diversity, most signs in Haepung are written in korean, japanese, chinese, and, sometimes, english. Many families in Haepung have been living here for generations and have created a close-knit community where everyone helps support each other. When you're in haepung, their hospitality makes you feel like home whether you've lived here your entire life or moved here yesterday. 

Haepung's businesses are a blend of the old and the new. There are businesses that have been open since before Korea was its own country, but there are also new trendy businesses that coexist and take over old and dilapidated buildings. Due to its high exposure to a variety of new and different trades, Haepung boasts as a hotspot for innovation and new technologies.
