From the abandoned blacksmith to cultural stay: Boygyeol – The global communities are exposed to regional decline due to industrial restructuring and urban migration. Gaeun-eup in Mungyeong City, South Korea, illustrates this phenomenon. Once in the 1960s to 80s, a flourishing coal mining city with 20,000 inhabitants, after the mines closed in the 1990s, she turned into a quiet village at 3,000 years. Local blacksmiths, once important community centers that manufactured daily tools, have been abandoned for over 20 years.
