The couple married two years ago after a long-distance relationship. They dreamed of a sweet honeymoon, but there were many days when it was hard to eat due to busy work, and a burnout came to Jiho. Jong-hoon, who felt sorry for Ji-ho, who was living without the luxury of looking up at the sky once, suggested a new way of life to Ji-ho, saying, "You have to be happy today to be happy tomorrow." The couple decided to move to Ulleungdo, which meets both conditions, with a prepared budget and a desire to live in front of the sea.
A couple who bought a long-empty 42-year-old old house. In the absence of any architectural knowledge, the two had to repair the house themselves, so they had to fill the newlywed, which should have been sweet, with a strong smell of pain relief patches. After more than a year of major construction, the house was finally completed, and four months ago, the couple opened a guest house on the second floor of the house.
They are the first to live on the island and run a guest house. Meeting new people, sharing new experiences, and slowly taking root on Ulleungdo Island. I don't have enough income because I don't have many customers, but I'm happy because of the precious 'time together'
The couple's newlywed marriage has finally begun. It may seem a little reckless, but we look into Ji-ho and Jong-hoon's honeymoon diaries on Ulleungdo Island, which are full of romance.

Ji-ho and Jong-hoon, who moved to Ulleungdo, purchased a two-story house that was 42 years old. After being left empty for over 10 years, it was very old and shabby
The two decided to remodel themselves and fix the house.
The intensity of labor was enormous as all construction had to be done directly at a much longer construction period than initially thought and at a cost that exceeded expectations. Jong-hoon, if you had known all this in advance, you wouldn't have even started. Now, it is left as a special memory for the two. Ji-ho and Jong-hoon feel like children in this house, as it has been completed for more than a year, saying that a child's motherhood will develop when he or she lives for 10 months.
Four months ago, the two of them finally opened a guest house and became novice owners of a rural guest house in Ulleungdo, where the sun is wonderful.
# Newlywed couple on Ulleungdo Island Makes Happiness
Ji-ho and Jong-hoon are new to life on the island and running a guest house. After a long construction, I finally got to live in a house I liked, but their work was not done yet.
Since it is a house completed by two people who have no idea about architecture, there are still deficiencies. Bathroom tiles excited by the water seeping through the silicon cracks,
Rooftop rainwater that collects every time it rains, even toilet water that doesn't go down properly. There are more than one or two places to take care of. In addition, if the ship is cut off due to the weather, the reservation is suddenly canceled, and the operation of the guest house is not easy.
There are more things to do than I thought, and unexpected difficulties continue endlessly, but the two look at each other without hard expression and hold on with laughter. There were many difficult moments in Ulleungdo Island, where there was no connection, but the couple is always happy to be together. Slowly but firmly rooted in Ulleungdo, their new home, the two are making their own second act of life.
