Incheon Isles Lure Soap Fans with Film Sets, Beaches
Locally produced TV dramas have given Korea’s tourism industry a boost for many years, with the three islets off Incheon’s Yeongjong Island coming into sharper focus in recent years thanks to fans of Korean dramas such as “Full House,” which features Rain and was partly shot on location there.

Sido, once known for its traditional goby fishing, has since become a tourist hot spot after pictures of its beautiful beach and soft sand flashed around Asia via the TV drama.
A ten-minute drive by car from Sindo wharf took the two excited Japanese visitors to a wide beach on which stands a white two-story house. It was their first time here, but they had seen the house many times before…
