For most South Korean people, Mungyeong in North Gyeongsang Province is associated with “Mungyeong Saejae,” a mountain trail that helped Koreans in the Joseon era living in the southeastern peninsula pass over the Sobaek Mountains to get to Seoul.

This week Mungyeong is busy welcoming the evaluation committee that will assess the city’s bid to host the 2015 Military World Games. The committee arrived in Seoul on Tuesday and started its two-day evaluation Wednesday by visiting the city.

The Brussels-based CISM, which stands for Conseil International du Sport Militaire, or the International Military Sports Council, organizes the multi-sport event for military sportspeople that is held every four years.
