Saemangeum is one of the largest land reclamation projects in Korea. After about 20 years of construction, Saemangeum Embankment was completed in 2010. The embankment overlooks the expansive West Sea, which makes it a popular place for sunset-watching. Saemangeum Embankment was made famous by the world-renowned boy band BTS when they filmed their music video and album jacket photographs on the embankment. When the music video first came out, many Korean fans were puzzled as to where the setting could be, as the scenery of the area showcases an expansive view of nature that is rather rare in Korea.

Dongho Beach is located south of Gomsoman Bay, between the Byeonsan Peninsula of Buan and Gochang-gun, Jeollabuk-do. Skirting the 1-kilometer-long white sandy beach lies a green forest with pine trees hundreds of years old. The sunset viewed from the forest is particularly eye-catching as the soft pink from the falling sun covers the sky. The water just offshore is relatively shallow, varying in depth between 0.5 and 1.5 meters. The high salt content in the seawater makes it an ideal place for sea and sand bathing.
On the hill above the forest is Suseongdang, a shrine honoring the god of the seas, where the local fishermen gather each year to pray for big catches.
