The meaning of Hanwoo is ‘native cattle raised in Korea’.

However, Hanwoo in Hanwoo Village does not mean that.

​

Seventy years ago, during the Korean War, most Korean people were worried about their meals every day. At that time, cattle were valuable livestock as Korea was an agricultural society. So, beef was a food eaten once a year during a big holiday, or when a very precious visitor comes.

​

That's why I named it Hanwoo Village, meaning that all the customers who come to Hanwoo Village are treated preciously. I want to give all the customers who come here a taste of the various senses of Korea. As long as you are in Hanwoo Village, you deserve the best treatment.
