Park Eung-soon, the founder of Chodang Halmeoni Sundubu, was the one who elevated the name of Chodang bean curd to nationwide fame, so much so that Chodang is synonymous with good-quality bean curd in Korea. Chodang Halmeoni Sundubu is now run by her son Kim Yeong-hwan. The store is famous for its 5-minute section in the TV segment “Continuing the Generation,” aired as a part of KBS1’s Newsline program the day before Seollal in 1995, while its name in Japan was made popular by featuring in television programs aired by NHK, Fukuoka’s TNC TV, and the Japanese food magazine “danchyu.” Chodang bean curd traditionally uses seawater for the bittern used in the bean curd-making process. Unlike standard coagulants, this creates a delightfully richer and softer texture. The restaurant has enjoyed a steady stream of customers from the time of its opening, when visitors to the nearby Gyeongpohaebyeon Beach or those who had visited Jeongdongjin to see the sunrise flock to the restaurant for a delicious breakfast made with the local specialty. The name of Chodang Village is thought to originate from the courtesy name of Heo Yeob, father of Joseon-era novelist Heo Gyun.

Just south of Gyeongpo Beach is Chodang Dubu Village, which is famous for dubu (tofu). Chodang dubu is made from ground beans and salt water from the East Sea resulting in a soft and light tofu. The name of this village, Chodang, originates from the name of a famous family that once lived here known as Chodang Heoyeop. Heoyeop was the father of son, writer/poet Heo Gyun (1569~1618) and daughter, poet Heonan-seolheon (1563~1589). A traditional-style Korean house has been reconstructed on the site where the original house of Heo Gyun and Heonan Seolheon once stood.
