JANGSSI HAENYEO · YEONHWA-RIJangssi Haenyeo-jip51 Years of Haenyeo Craft on Every Table

Into the Sea at Twenty

A twenty-year-old woman made her first dive off the coast of Yeonhwa-ri, Gijang. Fearless in the cold water, she took her first step alongside the ocean.

Gijang's Youngest Haenyeo

At 72, she is still called Gijang's 'youngest haenyeo' and continues to dive as an active professional. In 51 years, she has never once left the sea.

Mother and Son, Together

The mother's ocean experience combined with the son's management sense gave birth to Jangssi Haenyeo-jip. She works at sea, he works in the kitchen — together preparing an honest table.

An Honest Table

The haenyeo's sharp eye inspecting every tank each morning, the weight behind every plate served. Choosing integrity over glamour — that is the philosophy of Jangssi Haenyeo-jip.
