“Korea has a unique kind of love that is 정 (Jeong), a single word that exists in Korean capturing all these sentiments. It implies love, an affectionate state of mind, the invisible bond that connects us to Tofino in the same way it ties us to Jeju. These two towns we love, a mirror image of each other in uncanny ways, have taught us the invaluable lesson of cherishing family, venerating nature, and fostering a nurturing community.”
