▶ “Gap-soon-ah~ Gap-soon-ah~~” The long-awaited spring of Sangwangdeungdo! As the warm spring sunlight began to seep into the isolated island, the residents who had been on the mainland all winter returned to the island. Those who hurriedly prepared for the long wait and hurried their steps are none other than Sangwangdeungdo’s best friends, Hyunyoung and Yeongwon, who are an aunt and a niece two years older than them. They set out in search of a treasure that makes the hearts of the two women flutter as much as flower viewing in the city... The taste of spring on the island that survived the harsh winter has a particularly strong fragrance. ▶ If something happens, we go anywhere! - Filial sons who protect the island There are only two passenger ships per week traveling to Sangwangdeungdo, and in this isolated island without cars or marts on the border between civilization and the wild, a truck dispatched on the day the passenger ship arrives! The man who carries all kinds of daily necessities from the land and loads them into his car and delivers them to the front of the house is none other than Director Ha Hyeon-pyo of the Wangdeungdo Power Plant. To the residents of Sangwangdeungdo, he is the problem solver of the island village who appears like a main character in a comic book, ♬when something happens to someone somewhere~♬. ▶ Half a century in Sangwangdeungdo - Inside the memory album of an old couple... It has already been 50 years since the 20-year-old maiden got married and lived in Sangwangdeungdo across the sea. The old couple, Byeong-eop and Hyeon-yeong, who tell the story of how they lived in a thatched house with a lantern, are the living history of Sangwangdeungdo. When Hyeon-yeong, the wife, recalls the days when she raised three children and lived tirelessly in the mountains and the sea, her eyes still redden as she takes out faded photos that she has carefully kept in a drawer. The thatched house where she lived with a lantern, the childhood of the three children, and even the appearance of the school that has now disappeared... She reminisces about those days in Sangwangdeungdo. ▶ The guardian of the golden fishing grounds of the West Sea - Protect the territorial waters starting point, Sangwangdeungdo! Sangwangdeungdo, the westernmost tip of the Byeonsan Peninsula, is one of the 23 territorial waters starting points that determine our country's territory, and the Korea Oceanographic Research Association's Reference Point Management Team regularly conducts regular inspections of the territorial waters starting point markers. Since Sangwangdeungdo, the territorial waters starting point island, is firmly established here, the maritime territory of the central western part of the Republic of Korea is expanding, and our place of living is also expanding. In fact, Wido, located 19km to the east where Sangwangdeungdo is located, was once the center of the golden fishing ground of croaker, 'Chilsanbada'. Even now, on the 14th day of the first lunar month, the Wido Daeri Village holds the 'Wido Boat Festival', Korea's representative abundant catch festival... This is possible because Sangwangdeungdo silently embraces the end of the West Sea. New spring! The early morning schools have disappeared, but there are still people living in the sea of ​​life, and the sea embraced by Sangwangdeungdo still boasts of abundance. ※ This video is [Treasure Island Embracing the West Sea - Spring of Sangwangdeungdo] that aired on May 25, 2024. #Sangwangdeungdo #TreasureIsland #Island ✔KBS Documentary KBS Official YouTube Channel [KBS Documentary] 🔔Subscribe👍Like➡️ / @kbsdocumentary 📝Inquiries: [email protected] ©️ KBS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ∙The current situation and content may differ slightly depending on the broadcast time. ∙Defamatory and malicious comments may be deleted by the operator to protect the cast.
