Look up place names

Yoo Hong-jun, this time it's Jeju Island!

Professor Yoo Hong-jun (Department of Art History, Myongji University), author of 『My Cultural Heritage Tour』, which achieved the remarkable record of being the first humanities book to sell over 3 million copies from the first volume, "Namdo Exploration No. 1" in 1993, to the sixth volume, "Life is full of twists and turns" in 2011, has published the seventh new volume, "Where is Dolhareubang, Gamsu Gwang?" in the Jeju edition.
Unlike previous works, this new book devotes an entire volume solely to Jeju Island, richly filling it with stories of Jeju's nature, cultural heritage, history, and people. Its depth and focus are so profound that it can be said to have opened up a new horizon for travelogues.
Jeju Island, which has already grown from a popular vacation spot for the entire nation to a world-class tourist destination, is a place that everyone has visited at least once and is considered a well-known place. It is difficult to find a case where the value of natural beauty and cultural heritage hidden in every corner of Jeju Island is so comprehensively condensed.
This Jeju edition, 'Where is the Dolhareubang?', will awaken us to a new perspective on Jeju through new discoveries about the island.

A Guide to Jeju for the Jeju Heo Clan

Among domestic travel guidebooks, Jeju guidebooks are overwhelmingly numerous, and recently, with the popularity of the Olle Trail, various ways to experience Jeju are being introduced.
However, most Jeju Island travel still focuses on famous tourist destinations, limiting access to Jeju's history and culture. Even when traveling by rental car, there is a lack of systematic and in-depth information.
This book can be said to be a Jeju guidebook for rental car users, or 'Jeju Heosi', who travel around Jeju freely by renting a car.
It is also a travel book for domestic and international readers who want to break away from the conventional travel mold and enjoy the true essence of Jeju.
This book illuminates Jeju's hidden value by shedding new light on its familiar and well-known natural and cultural heritage, as well as places that are close by, yet rarely visited or given much attention, even by locals and even mainlanders.

A New Discovery in Jeju - Is Jeju Island Really Like This?

‘Jeju Travelogue’ is largely composed of five parts.


The first area that appears in 'Jeju Field Trip No. 1' is the area around Jochon and Gujwa in the northeast of Jeju.
This area is a place where you can fully experience the essence of Jeju's nature and culture, including Jeju's representative oreum, Darangshi Oreum, Jeju's religious beliefs as seen in Donji Halmangdang and Gaetgeot Halmangdang, and the diving landscape of Hadori, where one-tenth of Jeju's female divers are still active.
Here, you can also find relics that bear the marks of the 4.3 Incident, an event that cannot be forgotten even if ignored, which was the most tragic event in Jeju's modern history.
Meanwhile, this region is the kingdom of parasitic volcanoes, or Oreum, which are representative symbols of Jeju's nature.
In particular, you can also see the Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, which played a decisive role in Jeju's registration as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
The story of Yongcheon Cave, miraculously discovered while the author was serving as the head of the Cultural Heritage Administration, has given rise to a global recognition and further instilled pride in the value of Jeju's nature.
Also, the episodes of the 'Jeju Samchun' who tell the stories of haenyeo (female divers) in the Jeju dialect are mysterious and interesting stories that only a field trip can tell, not only to mainlanders but also to Jeju people.

Yeongsil, which appears in the second 'Hiking the Upper Seoreum of Hallasan Mountain', is the 'most beautiful place in Jeju' chosen by the author.
Whether it snows or the wind blows, or the flowers bloom or fall, this place is the most beautiful because it allows you to fully experience the entirety of Hallasan Mountain without being a difficult climbing course.
The Yeongsil climbing course passes through the lush forest path as the prelude, the first act is O Baek Jang Gun Peak, the second act is the azalea ridge, the third act is the fir tree grove, and the fourth act is the upper Seoreum, reaching the peak at Baekrokdam.
Even during the breathless climb, the author uses his gift of gab to introduce Baekho Imje's "Nammyeong Soseung" and the legend of Seolmundae Halmang of Obaekjanggunbong, and sings Choi Ik-hyeon's "Yuhallasangi."
When we arrived at the Jindallae Ridge, we spread out our mats and chatted with the Paldo ajummas who came to tour the area, and we created a 'Paldo Ajummasron' that vividly portrays the dialects and spoken language of the Paldo ajummas.
The mountain path also introduces the British botanist Wilson, who created the tree species that is today the main type of Christmas tree by taking the fir tree native to Hallasan Mountain, and Dr. Gente, who was the first to measure the height of Hallasan Mountain.


The third is ‘Pilgrimage to Tamna Kingdom’, which allows us to look back on the history of Tamna Kingdom becoming Jeju Island.
Here, we will introduce the Samseonghyeol and Samyangdong prehistoric sites, where the legend of the birth of the three progenitors of Jeju, Go, Yang, and Bu, is intertwined, the remains of the Sambyeolcho, who resisted the Mongols during the Goryeo Dynasty, Gwandeokjeong, one of the buildings with the oldest history in Jeju, Ohyeondan, which enshrines the five sages, and the space honoring the Joseon Dynasty female physician Kim Man-deok.
Gwandeokjeong and Samseonghyeol, widely known as tourist destinations, are not places that attract much attention if you go there without knowing their historical significance or value.
If it were a simple tour without a story, it would be the same anywhere, but especially in Jeju, where there are so many modernized and fancy tourist courses, it would be very likely to pass by such places without much thought.
The author, who believes that “when a legend meets a relic, it acquires a realistic sense of substance, and when a relic meets a legend, it acquires storytelling,” points out that, for example, Samyang-dong Black Sand Beach is famous for its sand bathing, which is visited by many tourists from the mainland and even Japanese tourists, but very few people visit the prehistoric site just above it, and says that the reason for this is the excessive academic caution and solemnity of scholars.
Also, when entering the space to look back on Grandmother Kim Man-deok, who has recently received public attention with the creation of the Kim Man-deok Memorial Society and the production of a standard portrait, the tomb itself is left shabbily neglected, and a huge memorial tower has been erected, giving the impression that the roles of the subject and object have been reversed.

The passages that express regret over the current state of the front yard of Gwandeokjeong, which should serve as a plaza as the heart of Jeju, the advice on the preservation method of the Jeju Mok government office, which has been restored like a theme park but entry is prohibited, and the lament over the appearance of Ohyeondan, where modern steles are crowded next to the original five simple and modest steles, and the regret over the lack of awareness of cultural heritage administration and local governments that still have a long way to go, make us reflect.

The fourth region is the 'southwest of Jeju', including the Sanbangsan area where traces of Hamel and Seo Bok remain, the Songaksan area with the Japanese military camp cave and the Altteureu airfield, Daejeong where Chusa was exiled, and the Moseulpo area where the Jeju Chusa Museum is located and close to Daejeonghyanggyo and Daejeong-eupseong Fortress.
In this region, the author of 『Wandangpyeongjeon』 introduces an interesting episode from his experience rebuilding the Jeju Chusa Museum while serving as the head of the Cultural Heritage Administration, based on his extensive knowledge of Kim Jeong-hui.

In the final episode, 'From Gasiri to Donnae-ko', the journey concludes with a visit to Jeju horses, a native chicken village, and a monument to Koreans in Japan.
Here, we introduce two key figures who have inspired the author, Seok Ju-myeong, the “Butterfly Doctor,” and Japanese anthropologist Izumi Seiichi, who have strived to develop “Jeju Studies” by focusing on Jeju’s nature, culture, religion, language, and history.
This book tells the stories of countless people who shaped Jeju into what it is today, but the stories of these two people are particularly unique and meaningful.


A new level of 'travelogue'

When the second volume of 'Dapsagi' was published, poet Ko Un praised it, saying, "As soon as Yu Hong-jun's gaze touches the object, it blossoms into a totality of culture." However, Professor Yu Hong-jun's delicate gaze and extensive humanistic interpretation, which awakened the value of cultural heritage that had not been properly illuminated and brought it to life, extend to not only cultural heritage but also Jeju's nature, folklore, and language in this Jeju edition.
The author states that while previous travelogues focused on cultural heritage, this travelogue seeks both breadth and depth, ultimately hoping to become the cornerstone of 'Jeju Studies.'
Through the Jeju edition of 'Travelogue', which was chosen by over 3 million readers, we hope that Jeju will be reborn as a cultural field trip destination blessed by Koreans, beyond being a common tourist destination and resort.

This 7th volume of "Jeju Travelogue" is presented to readers as an e-book, painstakingly created to enhance the realism of the paper book and provide convenience, in addition to its publication in paper form.
Volumes 1-6 will also be released as e-books.
This e-book is also available in 'Epub 3 version', which provides various multimedia and additional features.
Additionally, we are currently working on developing and launching specialized travel products in cooperation with the Jeju region and travel agencies.
