After traveling from Seoul through Jindo, Jinju, and Pohang, she arrived in Ulleungdo at 6:00 AM. Upon arrival, Song Ga-in began her journey by marveling at the island's crisp air and scenery that felt reminiscent of an infinity pool. The journey was an epic trek, requiring long travel times from Seoul to Jindo, then to Jinju, through Pohang, and finally to Ulleungdo.

"I came to soak up some promotion energy" – Ulleungdo's auspicious spot even visited by conglomerate chairmen

After arriving on the island, the first place Song Ga-in visited was the so-called 'Yakso,' a spot rumored to be frequented only by the wealthy. This location is a barefoot acupressure experience site that conglomerate chairmen reportedly visit to absorb positive energy. Song Ga-in experienced the energy of Ulleungdo firsthand by walking the paths barefoot. Following the barefoot acupressure, the course includes washing one's feet and drinking water, which Song Ga-in praised, saying, "It's so refreshing."

Local officials met on-site testified to the site's energy by sharing news of their recent consecutive promotions. Listening to their stories, Song Ga-in expressed her characteristic cheerful intuition, saying, "I feel like my new song is going to be a huge hit this time." She also shared a relaxed moment with a citizen from Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, discussing the concept of "living on Ulleungdo for a month." After the barefoot acupressure, Song Ga-in remarked, "I feel like my blood has become purer," fully embracing the kindness of the residents and the energy of nature in the safe, pristine environment of the island, free from natural predators like bears.

Discovering freshwater shrimp in ice-cold valley water and a "jackpot" premonition

In the next leg of her journey, Song Ga-in sought out the freezing valley water flowing down from the mountains. The temperature of the natural spring water was as cold as ice, leaving Song Ga-in astonished, noting, "It's just as refreshing as when I go to the valleys." Because the mountain water was so cold, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really freezing." While inspecting the cold water, she witnessed the vitality of nature firsthand, encountering Dokdo shrimp nearly the size of her face and even teasing a future "mukbang" (eating show).

Feeling the energy of nature with her whole body, Song Ga-in expressed her anticipation that the energy of Ulleungdo would positively influence her musical career, stating, "I feel a huge jackpot coming right now." As a self-proclaimed "squid mania" who claims to eat squid every single day, Song Ga-in showed special interest in the Ulleungdo Squid Festival and expressed her excitement for the upcoming journey to discover the flavors and charms of Ulleungdo.
