True Beauty | Seolli Skywalk — The Swing That Finished the First Date

The cantilever sticks 43 metres out over Namhae water with nothing under the last bays but air and a glass floor. Seolli Skywalk opened above Seolli village in 2019. The name of the beach means snow-village. The sand is pale enough to justify it. The structure is a red mast and a walkway 79 metres long, 36 metres up, the longest unsupported reach of its kind in the country.

True Beauty sent Ju-kyung and Su-ho here for the date that made them a couple on camera. She sat on the sky swing at the end of the deck. He pushed. The sea under Mijo-myeon did the rest. Namhae County still prints the address as 176 Misong-ro 303beon-gil and still charges a few thousand won to walk out and more if you want the swing. Tuesdays have been known to go dark. Wind shuts the glass when it has to.

You drive past Songjeong Solbaram Beach and the village tightens. The walkway is visible before the ticket booth is. Stand at the glass and the drop is the same drop the drama used. The swing still faces open water. Nobody has to push you. The height will do the work.
