* Land of Co-existence and Harmony, where insiders and outsiders live together*
    There should be no distinction of insiders or outsiders,  and any distinction vanishes when drinking 
     Makgeoli.  Jeonju has long been known for harmony, equality and the coexistence of variety.
     Bimbap and Makgeli are the symbol of harmony.

   Here, outsider means those who only eat the side dishes and don’t drink the Makgeoli,
    while insiders mean people who only drink the alcohol without tasting the side dishes!
   You might be sober even after numerous shots or drunk even after having none.

     2) Drunk from the extraordinary taste

    4)Drunk from low cost and generosity
