Asan has grown rapidly as its economic foundation has been established and developed, including natural resources, agricultural expansion, transportation revolution, and industrial development. The dynamics and vitality of a city depend on the elements that make up the city. The preservation and securing of traditional and cultural spaces can maximize the historical and cultural values of the city to establish urban identity, and the creation of road networks and green environments improves the convenience of life and the comfort of the city. The city's creativity and living benefits are irrelevant to housing and intellectual space, and the urban narrative, which has a hidden string of embrace, makes it an attractive city to live in. This study tried to emphasize that in order to understand Asan, which dreams of becoming a world-class city, it is necessary to listen to several changing narratives according to the times. The story of understanding specialized traditional resources and ups and downs as a hot spring tourist destination, changes in cities brought about by global companies such as Hyundai and Samsung, the opening of railways and subways, and the impact of the era of local autonomy were reviewed.
