Mungyeong is a city of 77,000 people (2011) in North Gyeongsang.
The Mungyeong economy during much of the 20th century was based on coal mining. However, these mines were closed in the 1980s, and since then the municipal government has focused on developing tourism, agriculture and light industry in the region.
