An island southwest of South Korea. The jurisdiction of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, a metropolitan and provincial autonomous region, according to the administrative district. It is the largest and most populous island in South Korea, with an area of 1,833.2 square kilometers and a population of about 670,000 and the world's 218th largest island.
It is quite a large island even if it expands its scope to the entire East Asian region. Japan, which has more than 6,000 islands, is also larger than Jeju Island, while the Chinese People's Republic of China is only one larger than Jeju Island," said the Russian Kuril Islands' Paramusir Island and Iturup Island. Hawaii is also the second largest island after Hawaii, with Maui Island slightly larger than Jeju Island.
It is a volcanic island formed by volcanic activity. For this reason, there are 370 parasitic volcanoes (Oreum) located at the center of Mt. Halla and some 200 to 300 meters of land on the island, and Hanon is one of them.
In the distant past, there was a country called Tamna Kingdom. So, it was also called Tamna Island, which refers to Jeju. It is also known as citrus soup.
In Europe, it was also known as "Quelfart," which borrowed the name of the ship that the Netherlands found when it discovered Jeju Island while sailing in the East Asian region and then reported it to the East Indian company.
Jeju Island has long been called Samdado because it has many wind, women and stones. In fact, this is a rather self-help nickname. It is said that because it is the southernmost part of Korea, many men die from the typhoon while working in the sea to catch fish, and many rocks (hyeonmuam) are volcanic islands, making farming difficult. The brand of bottled water made on Jeju Island is Samdasu. As the years go by, there is still a lot of stone and wind, but women feel less. As I'm getting along well, there's less reason for imbalance in gender ratio as men die less from sea work.
Some say Sammudo. The name was given because there were no thieves, beggars, and gates, but the villagers knew each other, and there were no beggars, no thieves, no thieves, no gates. But now it is an old saying.
