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.
