대한민국에서 가장 먼저 소멸할 도시들은 '이곳'입니다. 강등될 도시 top12

📉 Once a place becomes a 'city,' it cannot be demoted back to a 'county,' no matter how much its population declines. This is because there are absolutely no legal regulations for demotion. 🏚️ As a result, cities are emerging that still bear the 'city' label despite having a population of less than 50,000. There are even places where the population has shrunk to one-third of its original size in 60 years due to the collapse of the coal industry, an agriculture-centered economy, and the concentration of population in the capital region. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 What You Can Find Out in This Video ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 ① City vs. County — Why There Are No Promotion Criteria or Relegation Regulations 🏙️ ② 12 Cities in Crisis — Pocheon, Naju, Sacheon, Nonsan, Jecheon, Sangju, Gimje, Namwon, Mungyeong, Jeongeup, Samcheok, Taebaek 🔥 ③ Taebaek City — Population 120,000 → 37,000, The Only 'City' in the Nation with Under 50,000 ⚠️ ④ Vicious Cycle of Extinction — Population Decline → Tax Revenue Decline → Infrastructure Collapse → Further Outflow 💡 ⑤ Signs of Hope — Population Growth Cases in Muan-gun, Sinan-gun, and Eumseong-gun 📈 ⑥ Living Population Indicators — The Significance of Jeongeup City Ranking 1st in Jeonbuk and Gongju City Ranking 3rd Nationwide ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ Timeline ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 00:00 🎬 Opening — There is no law to demote a city to a county 00:31 🏆 1st Place Preview — 'That City' Where 70% of the Population Evaporated 01:13 📜 Criteria for Cities and Counties — Conditions for Promotion under the Local Autonomy Act 01:47 🚫 Absence of Demotion Regulations — Political and Emotional Backlash 02:28 💼 Practical Benefits of City Status — Civil Servant Quotas, Grants, and Attraction of Businesses 03:13 ⚠️ Vicious Cycle of Extinction — The Vicious Cycle Created by Population Decline Gori 03:50 🥉 12th Pocheon-si — Population falls below 150,000 mark, gap with Yangju 05:08 🥈 11th Naju-si — Innovation City commercial vacancy rate 37% 06:19 🥇 10th Sacheon-si — Home of KAI, but population is only 100,000 07:26 🍓 9th Nonsan-si — Army Training Center 119,000 vs. Resident population 100,000 08:34 📉 8th Jecheon-si — 140,000 → 120,000, net youth outflow 900 people/year 09:49 🚴 7th Sangju-si — Home of dried persimmons, 250,000 → below 90,000 10:56 🌾 6th Gimje-si — Granary 260,000 → 80,000, city status at risk 12:09 🎭 5th Namwon City — The setting of Chunhyangjeon, population plummets to the 70,000s 12:57 🪨 4th Mungyeong City — Coal mining city 160,000 → 80,000, city is smaller than county 14:04 ⚖️ 3rd Jeongeup City — City status at risk, yet 1st in Jeonbuk for resident population 15:11 🌊 2nd Samcheok City — 79% of Dogye-eup population evaporates (42,000 → 8,000) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 References and Sources ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 Pocheon City population collapses below 150,000 (Gyeonggi Ilbo) https://www.kyeonggi.com/article/2025... 🔗 Commercial Vacancy Rate in Naju Innovation City Reaches 37% (Gwangju Ilbo) https://www.kwangju.co.kr/article/202... 🔗 Half of Jeonbuk’s 6 Cities at Risk of City Status (Jeonbuk Ilbo) https://www.jjan.kr/article/202505235... 🔗 Taebaek City Population Plummets to the 37,000 Range (Gangwon Ilbo) https://www.kwnews.co.kr/page/view/20... 🔗 Dogye Mine Closed After 89 Years (Yonhap News) https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR2025062... 🔗 Muan-gun Population Increases by 3.14%, Nearing the 100,000 Era (Muan Times) https://www.moantimes.com/news/articl... 🔗 Eumseong-gun Population Growth Ranks Among the Top in the Nation (Chungbuk Ilbo) https://www.inews365.com/news/article... 🔗 Jeongeup-si Ranks 1st in Jeonbuk with 470,000 Living Population (Jeonbuk Domin Ilbo) https://www.domin.co.kr/news/articleV... 🔗 Gongju-si Ranks 3rd in the Nation with 7.79 Million Annual Living Population (Chungnam Ilbo) http://www.chungnamilbo.com/news/arti... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📺 This video is content intended for the purpose of conveying information and analysis based on published media reports and official statistics from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and there is no intention to disparage any specific region. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #PopulationExtinction #RegionalExtinction #TaebaekCity #UrbanCrisis #PopulationDecline #CollapseOfCoalIndustry #UrbanRuralMixedCity #LivingPopulation #RegionalExtinction #CityCountyConsolidation
