How 2,800 islands shaped a unique maritime culture
In short: Explore the deep connection between the people of South Korea and the surrounding waters. This video examines how living alongside diverse coastlines has fostered a distinct cultural harmony between human life and the natural world.
South Korea is bordered by the sea on three sides and contains approximately 2,800 islands. The region is defined by three distinct maritime environments: the calm West Sea, the rough East Sea, and the warm South Sea.
For generations, residents have inhabited both the mainland and remote islands. This long-standing proximity to the ocean has resulted in a unique culture where the relationship between people and nature is described as a work of art.
