Locations of Five West Sea Islands (in Korean)

Five West Sea Islands (Korean: 西海五島/서해오도) refers to the five islands in the West Sea (Yellow Sea) administrated by Incheon, South Korea. They are Yeonpyeong Island, Baengnyeongdo, Daecheongdo, Socheongdo and U Island. Their positions are much closer to North Korea and their sovereignties are claimed by North Korea,[1] but they are controlled by South Korea since the United Nations forces established the Northern Limit Line (NLL) north of the islands in 1953 following the Korean War.[2]
