Jeju Island, a premier vacation destination for South Koreans, offers a mix of enchanting scenery, culinary delights, and rich cultural traditions. Popularized by reality shows and dramas, Jeju is known for its frequent flights and impressive food scene, especially seafood. The island's haenyeo, female free divers, symbolize resilience and have garnered fame through various media. With a pleasant climate and volcanic soil from Mount Halla, Jeju is also a fertile ground for diverse agriculture, particularly pig farming, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and exploration.
Jeju always felt like a fabled land, sunny and warm at times, rainy and blustery at others, but endlessly romantic. It's easily the most popular vacation spot for South Koreans.
The flight route between Seoul and Jeju carries the most passengers in the world; on any given day, a plane takes off every seven to eight minutes.
Haenyeo, legendary free-diving women, hunt for abalone, urchins, and sea snails; they've developed an international reputation thanks to Japanese Breakfast singer Michelle Zauner.
A distinct, moderate climate and eons of activity by the island's towering volcano, Mount Halla, have also made Jeju a fruitful place for raising all manner of agriculture and livestock.
