'called Jinsen by the Japanese colonists' why is that so imporant to mention about how Japanese colonists called that city? Wikipedia is not Japanese encyclopedia written in English -- Taku 22:43 Jan 6, 2003 (UTC)
I disagree with you Taku. The article is about a place. When a place is colonized, that becomes a significant part of the history of that place, therefore, what the colonists called the place becomes pertinent. --Qaz
I agree with Taku. Jinsen is irrelavant to this page. soax 20:09 Jan 14, 2003 (UTC)
[edit] 2nd
If Incheon really does have 5.45 mil, how come Busan (with 3.7) is the 2nd largest city in S Korea?
- Short answer: It doesn't. I can't figure out where the "5.45 million" figure came from, but all sources I can find give a population of about 3 million less than that (whether it is now the third-largest city in South Korea is a more open question). I've replaced the previous number with one from the KNSO's online 2000 census figures. -- Visviva 14:06, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] The Movie
What about the movie called Incheon? Should this be mentioned here, and maybe on a separate page? Mathmo
[edit] Modern Incheon
I remember Inchon well. Having spent more than a year there (1953-1954) as a member of the US Army Signal Corps restoring communications destroyed by the conflict. The city I see via the internet today is one I would never have expected to arise from the rubble that I remember from a half century ago.
Question: When was the E added to the name Inchon? Incheon?
Hope to be around to visit when your new 200 story super skyscraper is complete.
