Often referred to as the “Land of the Morning Calm,” Korea has a population of 49.78 million (2011) and a total land area of 100,033 ㎢ (2010). Located at a major crossroads of Northeast Asia, it has also achieved the “Miracle of the Han River.” As early as the 1960s, when the country's five-year economic development plan was first implemented, the Korean economy has relentlessly shown signs of exponential growth. From 1970 to 2005, the country's GNI surged from US$8.2 billion to a staggering US$843.9 billion. The 1997 East Asian foreign currency crisis was only a temporary set-back for the Korean economy. The GNI stagnated at US$ 352.1 billion in 1998 but soon began to advance again, soaring to US$ 1,014.6 billion by 2010.
