Heck, pretty much every city in the world has some kind of regionalism. |

| IMO the OP wanted a quick and dirty explanation of voting patterns in the recent presidential election. Not: why is there regionalism in Korea at all when it has a very homogenous population. |

The greatest impact of regionalism in Korea before the Japanese occupation was around Pyongan-do, the region surrounding Pyongyang. This was the region that the central government in Hanyang (Seoul) neglected so much. So many un-Westernized (aka unenlightened in a Christian perspective) Koreans in the 19th century ignored Pyongan-do. And lo and behold. Pyongan-do became the most Westernized part of Korea until the Japanese colonialism started in 1910.
If the Chosun dynasty had moved the capital to Pyongyang in the 1880s, the Japan Empire wouldn't invade the Korean Peninsula in the first place.
Pyongyang is, after all, God's holy land in Asia. |
