Jeju's haenyeo was listed as the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2016. More than just fishing, it symbolizes femininity in Jeju and shows unique cultural identity and diversity. But is has the quality of their working environment gotten better as their elevated status?
They still carry bulky Styrofoam and plastic equipment to fish, and also careful about the threat of ships that might hit them at any time.

Created by redesign, Donguda Tewak presents a new identity that matches the status of Jeju's haenyeo. |
