About the island

In 1929, Modo Island was spotted by Kim Hae-gim on his way to Jeju Island.

He called the island Ttiseom because of the multitude of ttipul grass, a grass native to Korea, on the island.

There were also many houses with thatched roofs made with dried ttipul on the island.

The name Modo Island comes from the Hanja characters for "Ttiseom."
