Why South Korea Wants a Tiny Piece of Russia #shorts
South Korea is interested in Noktundo
Island, found in Russia's Far East near North Korea. Historically, it's tied to Korea through Yi
Sun-sin, a national hero.
Noktundo was once an island but is now part of the mainland due to river changes. Russia has
controlled it since the 19th century, despite South Korea's claims. South Korea does not formally
claim Noktundo but also does not accept Russian control. They keep the issue quiet until the
political climate might favor them.
The issue gained attention when Russia acted in Ukraine, which could make Noktundo relevant
amid strained relations. This dispute reflects Korea's desire for historical justice and affects East
Asian stability, even though the island has little physical or strategic value.
