Locations of Five West Sea Islands

Five West Sea Islands (Korean: 西海五島/서해오도) is the five islands in “West Sea” (Yellow Sea) administrated by Incheon, South Korea, including Yeonpyeong Island, Baengnyeongdo, Daecheongdo, Socheongdo and U Island respectively. Their positions are much closer to North Korea and their sovereignties are claimed by North Korea[1], but they are controlled by South Korea since the United Nations forces established the Northern Limit Line (NLL) above the islands in 1953 after the Korean War.[2]
