Introduction

Jutting out at the eastern seashore of Jeju Island, Seopji-Koji is one of the most scenic views with the bright yellow canola and Seongsan Sunrise Peak as a backdrop.
The pristine beauty of Jeju can be seen in Seopji-koji. Sinyang Beach, a meadow filled with canola flowers, peacefully grazing Jeju ponies, a rocky sea cliff, and a towering legendary large rock (Sunbawe) all combine to make nature s masterpiece. Unlike the other coastal areas of Jeju, it has red volcanic rock (songi) and strangely-shaped rocks that at low tide transform this area into a breath-taking stone exhibition gallery.

◈Seopji-Koji has become a movie and drama location hotspot with Gingko Bed 2, The Uprising of Lee Jae Su, Thousand Day Night, and All In
-A location shot was taken at Seopji-Koji to portray a picturesque scene of seaside home where the actress Jin Sil Choi lived in the movie Gingko Bed 2 (Danjeokbiyeonsu). It is also well-known as the shooting location for the TV drama All In, The Hyeopja beacon mound and lighthouse attracts a lot of tourists.

◈Legend of Seopji Koji
Legend has it that nymphs used to bathe at Seopji Koji. One day, the youngest son of the King of Heaven saw the nymphs and begged his father to arrange a marriage. The king promised him to do that if he waited for 100 days. The nymph did not show up on the 100th day because of wild waves and gusts of wind. The king told his son that his dedication was not good enough to move Heaven. The sorrowful son then became a rock, standing upright at Seopji Koji.
