Iksan (Korean: 익산) is a city and major railway junction in North Jeolla Province, (commonly transliterated as Jeollabuk-do or Chollabuk-do) South Korea.
The city center and railway junction was formerly called "Iri" (Hangul: 이리시; hanja: 裡里市; RR: Iri-si), but merged with Iksan County (Iksan-gun) in 1995.
The railway junction is located at the point where Jeolla, Janghang Line and Gunsan Lines meet the Honam Line, and is served by frequent train service to/from Seoul, Daejeon, Gwangju, Mokpo, Jeonju, Suncheon, and Yeosu.
Jeonbuk National University Iksan campus(Before, it was Iksan National College), Won Buddhism Graduate School, Wonkwang Health Science College, and Wonkwang University are all located in Iksan.
This city is called “The city of jewelry”; the Iksan Jewelry Museum opened in May 2002 next to a Dinosaur museum.
In late November 2006, Korean authorities quarantined a farm in Iksan and began culling poultry and livestock within 3 kilometers radius, to contain an outbreak of the H5N1 bird flu virus.
You may know me too well
From spending last night in that puddle
Kickin' my heart off in the trow
You tore a pity hole in your sock
You said "I will not join in your game"
Burnin' down whole houses of ice cream vendors
So please let them do whatever they may
For they have had every right
To make their living
To make their living
To make their living
To make their living
To make their living
You may know me too well
You may know me too well
You may know me too well
