Ulleungdo
A volcanic island of South Korea in the East Sea, forming Ulleung County of North Gyeongsang Province. It lies about 210 km from Pohang and administers Dokdo.
Ulleungdo's famous pumpkin yeot was originally 'hubak yeot.' Made from the island's hubak tree, the name spread as 'pumpkin yeot' because the words sounded alike. Ulleungdo embraced the mix-up and began making actual pumpkin yeot.
