Dubbed a world-class resort theme park, “Jeju Shinhwa World” spans 2.5 million square meters and is divided into seven major mythological theme zones, hotels, a casino, and 20 rides and attractions. Officials say it began opening in phases starting 2017, with three main zones — the theme park, food zone, and shopping zone — scheduled to officially open in November this year. The water park is expected to open in mid-2018, while the movie-themed theme park will debut in 2019.

In addition, the “YG Town” K-pop village, jointly developed with YG Entertainment — South Korea’s largest K-star agency — will gather numerous Korean brands and offer K-POP performances. With G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong) as its ambassador, K-pop fans are sure to go wild. This wave of tourism is bound to create a global sensation.
