Goseong (Gangwon)

Goseong  (고성) is a county in Gangwon in South Korea.

Understand
Goseong is a county in the very north east of South Korea, and is very close to the DMZ border area that separates the country from North Korea.

Goseong was ruled by North Korea before the Korean War and is one of the few communities in the entire peninsula that permanently changed hands between the two Koreas during the war (the other being Kaesong which switched to the North), which may explain the DPRK-themed attractions in town.
