The city is now home to a large foreign population, which has tripled over the past 5 years. There are more than 9000 foreigners residing in the Cheonan area.
In addition, Cheonan is the site of the prison exclusively intended for foreign prisoners, with more than 1 000 foreign inmates.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What we have to do ... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
