HELLO, WE ARE HAENYEOS!!
Jeju haenyeo are female divers from Jeju Island who harvest seafood without the use of special diving equipment. For generations, they have lived in harmony with the ocean, practicing a way of life deeply connected to nature. The haenyeo collect sea cucumbers, abalone, conch, and other marine products from the deep sea, embodying strength and independence. In 2016, Jeju haenyeo culture was inscribed on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, recognized as a significant example of environmental conservation and sustainable resource management.
