[SBS News] A mysterious island opened with 'Iwaku Road'

On December 28, last week, a one-way road was completed to make a turn around Ulleungdo along the coastline.

The one-week road project started with the comprehensive development plan of Ulleungdo in 1963, but it suffered from the problem of the construction company and budget. However, the construction of the 4.75km section between Jeodong-ri, Nae-soo and Buyeon-ri, which was left untreated, is about to be officially opened on March 29th.

It is a result of a whopping 55 years.

It took about an hour before the completion of the one-way road, but now it is easy to get through the tunnel.

Above all, the people who welcomed the completion of the one-way road were residents. (64) and his cousin, Lee Kwon-su (59), who were residents of Cheonbu 4-ri, the starting point of the road. After the opening of the tunnel, how did the lives of the two people who were native to Ulleung changed?
