South Korea
Most pivotal sequences for ‘Siren: Survive the Island’ are lensed across a remote and unnamed island in South Korea. The production team makes the most of the island’s vastness and picturesque setting to construct sets of several physical challenges to test the contestants’ physical and mental capabilities in different areas of the island.
There are about 3000 islands located off the southern and western coasts of the country of South Korea. One is Jeju Island, known to be the largest island out of all in the country’s proximity. Some other popular ones are Ulleung-do, Heuksando, Muuido, Baengnyeong Island, Hongdo, Cheongsando, Anmyeondo, and Udo, aka U Island. The country also has three terrestrial ecoregions: Central Korean deciduous forests, Manchurian mixed forests, and Southern Korean evergreen forests.
In addition, South Korea is home to 20 national parks and notable nature places such as the Boseong Tea Fields and Suncheon Bay Ecological Park. Many factors influence the country’s tourism, but recently, it has been heavily driven by the rise of Korean pop culture, including music and TV dramas, throughout East Asia and the rest of the world.
