Jeju Island sits 90 km south of Korea's mainland — a 700,000-resident volcanic island with the country's mildest climate, Hallasan (1,950m, Korea's highest peak, dormant volcano) at the center, and a long-running honeymoon/tourism economy. Jeju City (north) and Seogwipo (south) are the two main bases; nomads cluster around Aewol on the northwest coast (cafe density, coworking, English-friendly cluster). Korea piloted its first Digital Nomad Visa in 2024 on Jeju specifically — F-1-D Workation Visa, 2-year max, requires KRW 85M income (roughly USD 60k/year). Internet is genuinely world-class — Korea Telecom fiber averages 500+ Mbps everywhere. Flights to Seoul (1h) and Busan (1h) run every 30 minutes.
