Off to the Island (2025)

"Have you ever wanted to just leave everything behind and take off to a faraway place?" Here are two people who didn’t just imagine it but actually made it happen. Do-won and Myung-chul left behind their familiar and convenient city life to start anew in an unfamiliar place—Cheongsan (靑山). Cheongsan Island reveals itself only after a six-hour bus ride from Seoul, followed by another hour-long ferry journey. In a place where even those in their sixties are considered young, the arrival of a couple in their thirties was nothing short of astonishing. Wherever they go, their youth stands out. Do-won works as a social worker at a local children’s center, while Myung-chul volunteers at a church café. Though they are still adjusting, little by little, they are building a home for themselves on the island. In Cheongsan, a designated "Slow City" where slowness is considered an art, Do-won and Myung-chul lead surprisingly busy lives.
