Even though only 5% voted for Ulsan, it has a LOT of advantages...and only ONE disadvantage! It has an airport (unlike Masan!)

I'm not saying Masan would be a good place for the capital however the Gimhae Airport is only 40 minutes away by bus or car. So techically it is closer than a lot of major cities and Incheon Airport to Seoul.

However, i think masan would be a shocking choice.

If they're moving the capital, what will they call Seoul?


They may continue to call it "Seoul", but what I'd like to see them do is raffle it off to a chaebol ... "Samsung City" or "SK Town" ... no, no, wait: "LG Ville"!!

Oh, and a nice, big, fat impersonal corporate logo to replace that wretched "Hiseoul!" konglish nonsense, too.

Hmm...maybe not. That might be opposed on grounds of favouritism.

What they need is something the entire nation can support and rally around. (And who better to determine what that might be than the person behind the relocation of the capital and his Red Guar-- err, his young supporters?) Something "Ho Chi Minh City-esque"... Something along the lines of:

"Censorship City"

or perhaps "Candelight-Vigilante Land"

or maybe just cut to the chase with something like "Kill Round-Eye!"
(Now there's an idea Smile )
