South Korea’s largest island, a nature-forward region bound to Jeju Province
Incheon International Airport has become the world's busiest international hub in the first half of 2026, overtaking London Heathrow as disruptions from the US-Iran conflict redirect passengers to Asia. Heathrow remains under pressure to expand as Istanbul overtakes it in Europe, while Dubai declines.
Missing-person cases on Jeju Island have ended in multiple deaths. A police officer is under arrest for prematurely closing cases, prompting scrutiny of the island’s policing system. President Lee Jae Myung has ordered police reforms as investigations continue into nearly 300 cases handled by the officer.
