Autumn trip to Gokseong with the last string of the Seomjin River
Seojinjin River's last boat
Autumn trip to Gokseong with the last string of the Seomjin River
Gokseong-gun, Jeonnam, Korea
The mother told her that she grew up in a village with watermelon-flavored fish. The child he wants to see goes to his mother's home in search of his mother's home. Climb a small boat and cross the clear, calm stream. And beside him is a man who misses her as much as a child. The love story of a man who has a knife with his wounded heart and a woman who loved him began with the filming site of KBS drama Iron Man, Gokseong Seomjin River.
What is love? How long has humanity wandered in search of “it” that is invisible and untouched? Doesn't everyone have their own love. Here is a man trapped in a long love. Hong Bin (Lee Dong-wook) is the hero of the drama <Iron Man> on KBS-2TV. Hongbin is having a long time with Kim Tae-hee (Han Eun-jung), the daughter of a stationery shop who first met her. We are still waiting for our first love, whose life and death are unknown. Then one day, a spear appears in front of him called Taehee. Hong Bin, who didn't even know the life of his first love, leaves with his son, Chang, to the hometown of Tae-hee, whose fish smells like watermelon. Oji village in Seomjin river and Jirisan, Gokseong, Jeonnam.
Gokseong, a valley village in Seomjin and Boseong
Gokseong with Seomjin River and Jirisan Mountain. The tea comes from the name 'Valley' village. In fact, Gokseong is a mountain village with stems of Seomjin and Boseong rivers. Due to this natural condition, Gokseong, which was considered as an underdeveloped area, began to emerge as a tourist attraction because of the nature, Seomjin and Boseong rivers. In addition, 'Gokseong Seomjin River Train Village' and 'Sumjin River Rail Bike', which were made by utilizing the Jeolla Line, which was closed, added explosive power.
The reason why I found the song this time was to meet Seomjin River Joolbae in the drama. Was it because of the dignity of the scene of crossing the river that was spraying and visiting Taehee's hometown of first love? Thanks to some hints from the drama, the place was reduced to Seomjin River. In addition, Seomjin river rope boat was only difficult to find because it remained only in Gokseong.
Seomjin River wets calm water and Hunan
The rope boat, as its name implies, is a boat that crosses both sides of the river and pulls the rope. Expectations were added that if it was a deep mountainous area where you could rely on a ropeboat instead of overflowing tourist spots and overflowing people, you could rest there. Seomjin River rope boat connects Seokjin Village and Hogok Village with a stream of water in between.

Life of Hogok Village, Seomjin River
The last rope of Seomjin River. What a fascinating name for an outsider. If you go down Seomjin River from Seokgok Village bus stop, you will see Hogok Naruto. When traveling by car, you can type ‘slump garden’ into the navigation, park it on the ground and cross the street. You will see the bus stop right away. If you go down the river, a rope boat, which was not visible on Route 17, will appear 'salt'.
Journey to the Hoegoru
To go to the village across the river, go to Dugok Bridge to the south and Pong Pong Bridge to the north. If you own a car, it will save you some time, but nothing can follow you. It takes more than an hour to cross the bridge from Hogok Village and cross the bridge along the 9th province road to the Seokjeong Village bus stop.
Journey to the Hoegoru
For the villagers of Hogok village, the worship is life. It is really useful to reach the bus stop just across the river by boat. Wait a minute here, and wonder why the only ropeboat left on the stem of Seomjin River, which is over 500 Li, remains here in Gokseong. Simple. Gokseong itself is a valley surrounded by Seomjin River, Boseong River, and Jirisan Mountain, and Hogok Village, located across from Seomjin River, is a real Oji village. There were also fewer residents, so there were no bridges, and a real life rope was left.
I see a rope that was invisible on Route 17.
It is a definite clue that the outsiders feel pitiful and lyrical to the river trunks, but it shows the poor life to the residents here. If you're across the street, don't worry. If you pull the line, the ship comes across alone.

Gokseong travel point, Seomjin River train carrying love
Now that you've watched the ropes, let's look around the stems of Seomjin River. At Seokchi Station, you can enjoy rail bikes using the closed section of Jeolla Line. A rail extends along the stem of Seomjin River. It is more popular with young people because it can see the bare skin of Seomjin River more dynamically.
