ackground:white">Former president Kim Dae-jung earned full support from electorates at president election in 1997, while other political rivals are accused of having tried to under develop the city to decrease its population. The city still went through series of platforms to grow up its ability to hold stronger status in South Jeolla province in spite of economic depression and complains of residents at original downtown. According to the city's page, the mayor Jeong Jong Dueg says it is goal of Mokpo to be home to arts of Yellow sea in brilliantly developing Northeast Asia.

The term Mokpo literally means the harbour with large portion of forests. The terminology initially appears at Goryeosa (History of Goryeo). Owing to this background, some historians argue that the etymology shares its root at trees within port of Mokpo around the region. Another theory indicates that the location is critically important in Yellow Sea as the routes toward the land are as critical as the throat (in Hangu) of human. The last assertion finds its ground in large production of cotton
