A Whirlwind Trip to Jeju: Missions, Memories, and a Little Madness
Rushed out of work at 3 PM, caught a 4 PM flight.
Don't try this at home!
Luckily, made it on board safely.
That's right.
Came the day before, did a quick run-through, and Kangcheol who came to pick me up - worth teaching him how to drive!
Always emphasize:
Drive sensitively.
When arriving late and unsure where to go, try Iho Tewoo Beach.
Even with the beach closed and fewer people, the atmosphere was amazing. Almost indulged right away, but had to pass due to the next scheduled mission.
It's already been 4 years, time flies.
Visited a Korean BBQ place. They grilled the meat perfectly.
Jeju Somot and Busan Goha Sun are known for delicious Korean BBQ.
Attention! Fall in!
I planned the packed schedule for the second day.
From now on, what you see is top secret.
September: beaches are closed, crystal clear water flows in, making the water clear and warm – perfect weather for underwater operations.
Go to Jeju Island in September – it's a pro tip!
Here's a glimpse of the underwater operation.
Brought back memories of my days as a special forces soldier; felt a considerable amount of pressure.
Kept running into this one fish while swimming. When I looked up, I was practically in Busan!
If you don't believe me, let's go to the public bath together sometime.
Round 2 of training.
Jeju's groundwater is around 10 degrees Celsius. Finished about two hours of diving training here.
The ice-cold temperature reminded me of my SSU and winter training days.
Saw a retired military dog along the way.
Black, the friend who made a name for himself as a narcotics detection dog.
Finished the morning training, changed clothes, and immediately headed out.
Visited the parted sea road in Gimnyeong. Didn't know the exact location; just followed Oni's scent.
A photo taken during the last breath at a pancake restaurant.
Due to the wave, a rockfish died nearby, so I took it to a restaurant.
The owner cooked it up with a sweet and savory flavor.
It's a hidden gem!
Visited to order combat gear.
But didn't buy any.
They offered a cup of coffee and had a good vibe.
Met a second military dog.
Hector, the leader of the search and rescue dogs. He saved over 100 people in his prime.
Moved to the next mountain training location.
Mountain jogging.
Reminded me of a colleague who collapsed during a Red Cross rescue operation due to Oni's attack; felt a lump in my throat.
Arrived at the destination. Decided to have a secret communication here and put on my headset.
Received instructions from secret agent Cheol.
Travel by horse from the far left of Yongnuni Oreum parking lot.
These are the horse friends I met along the way.
Sniping mission complete.
Clip clop, clip clop.
After riding for who knows how long, I met a third military dog on the road.
Hunt, a recipient of the Inheon Medal for Military Merit, is now a marathon runner in Jeju after retirement.
The next sniping location is a notorious mountain.
Moved while wearing a ghillie suit.
Mission complete.
16 kills, 0 deaths.
From now on, I had to put down my dirty clothes and pretend to be a civilian, blending in among them.
Visited a training clothing store for a new mission, but didn't buy anything.
Finally, here's a collection of scenes from hunting Oni that I encountered along the way.
Ignite your spirit!
