Information Introduction Yeonpyeongdo Island is a small island resided by fishing communities
Despite the tragic incident of November 2010 shelling from North Korea, this bucolic island offers many natural and cultural attractions
Island History The earliest known history of Socheongdo Island comes from Chungmin-sa Temple, which was built to commemorate the island's once abundant but now extinct fish species called Yellow corbina (Sciaenidae)
This fish was related to the family of fish commonly called drums, croakers, or hardheads for the repetitive throbbing or drumming sounds they make
When the economy flourished thanks to profitable fishing, the Socheongdo port was congested with fishing boats, so much that it was said that one could cross from one island to the next by walking over boats
The species of fish is depleted, and the island remains as quiet with views of North Korea
In November 2010, Socheongdo Island was hit by the fatal shelling from North Korea that killed two civilians and two soldiers
In recent months, the island has made an attempt to recover its tourism industry and to develop security tourism by blending its newer military presence at tourist attractions
