History
Muan County (Korean: 무안군) is a county in Jeonnam-Gwangju, South Korea. In 2005, Muan County became the capital of the former South Jeolla following the transfer of the provincial office from its previous location in Gwangju to the village of Namak in Muan. Muan International Airport was opened here and will eventually replace the airport in Gwangju.
