Background.
The longest suspension bridge had been completed before the Incheon Bridge in Korea.
Busan is the most representative symbol.
Tourist attractions around Haeundae Gwangan Bridge, 민락 횟집 타운/sea food and raw fish Town, Gwangalli Beach,이기대 공원(오륙도), mt.hwangryeong.
Busan citizens are generally used as a name to Gwangan Bridge.
I think  Diamond Bridge is a civil conspiracy by name for ease of pronunciation of foreign Gwangan Bridge.
