good post, slight nitpick. i think its a bit misleading to say Gyeongju is not even one of the 40th most populous city in the korean peninsula given that wikipedia's list of the most populated cities in south korea, (where i assume you got this info from) includes many cities that are part of seoul's metro area. wouldnt you want to count those all as one city?
(by my count, around 20 cities, more populous than Gyeongju, are in the Gyeonggi province)
