Ieoh Island
Directed by Kim Ki-young
Produced by Dong-a Export
A haunting mystery rooted in maritime folklore and grief, where the boundary between the living and the drowned grows perilously thin.
A company hopes to open a spa hotel named after Ieodo, a mythical island inhabited by the souls of drowned sailors. During a study trip to the proposed location of the hotel, a journalist disappears under mysterious circumstances. One of the contractors goes to Ieodo's neighboring island, populated by widows of the dead sailors, to unravel the mystery.
