Ulleungdo's romance and the scent of the sea, 'Ululala Sea Pocha'
Last August, I visited the special festival held against the
backdrop of the summer night sea of Ulleungdo, 'Ulurala Sea Pocha'!
I can't forget the moment when the fish market parking lot facing
the sea was transformed into a food stall and showed off the charm of Ulleungdo.
I want to share the memories of that short but intense summer night,
I hope you'll definitely experience it if you visit Ulleungdo next year!
The '2025 Ulurala Sea Pocha' is waiting for us!
Ulleungdo, and the first encounter with the sea
**
As soon as we arrived at Ulleungdo, the thick scent of the sea
and the rugged natural scenery were so refreshing.
It seems to have a different charm from the leisurely
city life we are familiar with! This event was a festival
where we could fully enjoy Ulleungdo's various seafood
and enjoy the atmosphere of a summer night.
And I felt like the Ulleung County residents and tourists
were truly united as one. I also captured the
Ulleung Youth Group preparing for the event.
The venue was nicely prepared and the pretty
lights were bright. As the sky gradually darkened,
people came to the 'Ulurala Sea Pocha' one by one.
Various seafood and things to enjoy
**
When we arrived at the Sea Pocha,
the seafood spread out before our eyes was really fresh and diverse!
From fresh squid, mussels, and shrimp from Ulleungdo,
it seemed as if all the treasures of the sea were gathered here.
In particular, the price was reasonable,
so everyone could happily order food and eat the
food cooked on the spot. Everyone sat around naturally and chatted
with each other, and the Sea Pocha was filled with people's laughter.
In addition to seafood, there were also unique food trucks from Ulleungdo.
The warmth of the Sea Pocha and the free atmosphere of the food truck
were in harmony, so I was able to enjoy the delicious food and the atmosphere together.
Experience making conch candles and shell picture frames
**
The process of pouring candle wax into a shell and making
my own sea scented candle was healing in itself.
While the scented candle hardened, I looked out at the ocean.
And I smelled its scent, and somehow my mind became calm.
I also had the experience of decorating my own picture
frame with shells. I attached smoothly polished shells and
small decorations to make my own picture frame containing
my memories. Even though I will be back from my trip and
a busy daily life awaits me, I think I will remember the smell
of the sea and the lively scenery of the Sea Pocha
that day whenever I see this small item.
Performances that resonated every night
**
A special night made with passion
**
They said that they researched and studied successful
festivals in other regions to prepare for the festival.
And they planned the event content and thought deeply
about even the smallest details to complete the result.
That's why this space felt so special. Everyone who visited here
was able to fully enjoy the romance of the ocean and the joy of summer.
It must have been because of those hidden efforts!
Keeping precious memories of Ulleungdo in my heart
**
At the Sea Pocha, there was a warm encounter
with the sea on a summer night and strangers.
The ‘Ululala Sea Pocha’ was more than just a festival, it seemed to serve
as a bridge connecting Ulleungdo, the sea, and people.
Although the event was short, it was a special night that will
remain in the hearts of many people for a long time.
If I have the chance, I definitely want to visit Ulleungdo again next time
and experience the joy of this special festival again!
I hope this article conveys the romantic atmosphere of
Ulleungdo's nature and the Ululala Sea Pocha ~!
