A Korean journalist revisits Somaemuldo, an island off Tongyeong known as the 'Jewel of the South Sea,' 26 years after his first visit. Despite the absence of old tourist boats, the island retains its timeless beauty, from walking paths around Mangtaebong Hill to the connecting tidal path to the Lighthouse Island. Somaemuldo gained fame through a popular cookie advertisement from 1986. Visitors are advised to check ferry schedules from Tongyeong before visiting. The trip highlights how natural beauty persists amidst changing tourist practices.
