ISLAND OF NOVEMBER: JODO AND HODO ISLANDS IN THE SOUTH SEA
Jodo Island and Hodo Island in the South Sea, have been designated as 'the island of November.' Situated approximately 1-2km south of Mijo Fishing Port in Mijo-myeon, 'Jodo Island,' named for its resemblance to a flying bird (鳥, Jo), and 'Hodo Island,' shaped like a tiger (虎, Ho), are now home to a total of 100 residents.
The inauguration of 'Seom Baraegil,' translating to old island trails, last May, covering 2.3km of Jodo Island and 2km of Hodo Island, has swiftly established them as an ideal location for autumn walks. Jodo Island and Hodo Island boast a scenic coastal walkway, providing a delightful one-hour stroll. Notably, these islands were previously chosen as 'the island destination for autumn 2023' by KIDI, MOIS, and MCST.
