Brief

  • Try Jeju specialties including black pork, fresh abalone and other seafood, hallabong citrus, and Jeju tangerines.
  • Chuseok, South Korea’s major harvest holiday, is expected around September 24-26, 2026. Flights, ferries, rental cars, hotels and major attractions may be busier and more expensive around the holiday.

Safety and health

  • Jeju is generally a low-crime destination, but current concern focuses on mishandled missing-person cases. Use well-reviewed accommodation, keep companions or family informed of hiking plans, and avoid isolated areas after dark. Police say the deaths under investigation are not linked to evidence of a serial killer. (bbc.com | koreajoongangdaily.com)
  • South Korea has high-quality medical care, but emergency departments may be unable to accept patients immediately. For a serious illness or injury, call 119 promptly rather than delaying treatment; pharmacies are widely available. Tap water is generally safe to drink. (wikivoyage.org)
