Kua huraina e te kāwanatanga o Kōrea ki te Tonga tana pahi tuatahi e whakamahia ana te hauwai i raro i te mahere pūngao ma.

Mā te kaupapa tautoko tuku pahi hauwai a te kāwanatanga o Korea, ka nui haere te hunga ka uru atu kingā pahi hauwaie whakakahangia ana e te pūngao hauwai ma.

I te 18 o Paenga-whāwhā, 2023, i tū te Manatū Tauhokohoko, Ahumahi me te Pūngao i tētahi hui whakanui mō te tukunga o te pahi tuatahi e whakamahia ana te hauwai i raro i te "Kaupapa Whakaaturanga Tautoko Hoko Pūtau Wahie Hauwai" me te otinga o te turanga whakaputa pūngao hauwai i Incheon i te Whare Whakatika Pahi Singheung i Incheon.

I te Whiringa-ā-rangi 2022, i whakarewahia e te kāwanatanga o Kōrea ki te Tonga tētahi kaupapa whakamātautau hei tukungā pahi e whakamahia ana te hauwaihei wāhanga o tana rautaki ki te whakatipu i te whanaketanga o te umanga pūngao hauwai o te motu. Ka whakatinanahia te katoa o ngā pahi hauwai e 400 puta noa i te motu, tae atu ki te 130 i Incheon, 75 i te Porowini o Jeolla ki te Raki, 70 i Busan, 45 i Sejong, 40 i te Porowini o Gyeongsang ki te Tonga, me te 40 i Seoul.

Ko te pahi hauwai i tukuna ki Incheon i taua rā anō te hua tuatahi o te kaupapa tautoko pahi hauwai a te kāwanatanga. E 23 ngā pahi hauwai kua whakahaerehia e Incheon, ā, kei te whakamahere ia ki te tāpiri atu i te 130 mā te tautoko a te kāwanatanga.

E ai ki te Manatū Tauhokohoko, Ahumahi me te Pūngao, ka taea e te 18 miriona tāngata i Incheon anake te whakamahi i ngā pahi e whakamahia ana te hauwai i ia tau ina oti te kaupapa tautoko pahi hauwai a te kāwanatanga.

Koinei te wā tuatahi i Korea kua hangaia he whare hanga hauwai i roto tonu i te karāti pahi e whakamahi ana i te hauwai i runga i te tauine nui. E whakaatu ana te pikitia i te Incheonte whare hanga hauwai.

I taua wā anō, kua whakatūria e Incheon tētahi whare hanga hauwai iti i roto i tētahipahi e whakamahia ana te hauwaikarāti. I mua, kāore he whare hanga hauwai i Incheon, ā, i whakawhirinaki ki ngā taonga hauwai i haria mai i ētahi atu rohe, engari mā te whare hou ka taea e te tāone te whakaputa 430 tana hauwai ia tau hei whakakī i ngā pahi e whakamahia ana e te hauwai e mahi ana i roto i ngā karāti.
