Five West Sea Islands
Locations of Five West Sea Islands (in Korean)
Five West Sea Islands (Korean: 西海五島/서해오도) refers to the five islands in the West Sea (Yellow Sea) administrated by Incheon, South Korea. They are Yeonpyeongdo, Baengnyeongdo, Daecheongdo, Socheongdo and . Their positions are much closer to North Korea as these islands are originally part of Hwanghae Province and their sovereignties are claimed by North Korea,[1] but they are since then, controlled by South Korea since the United Nations forces established the Northern Limit Line (NLL) north of the islands in 1953 following the Korean War.[2]
