The story behind the day out
A family recreation landscape at Yongin
Yongin Natural Farm opened in April 1976, according to Samsung’s corporate chronology. The site became associated with the Everland Resort identity as it developed. Its original name points to a recreation landscape that existed before the later branding familiar to visitors. The story is distinct from Seoul’s enclosed urban attractions: the Yongin destination grew around a much larger outdoor setting.
