The Land-End Threshold
A southern peninsula county where Ttangkkeut, Duryunsan, Daeheungsa, seafood, and slow rural roads give Route 7 its symbolic beginning.
Haenam matters because Route 7 should not jump from Mokpo straight into generic coast. Ttangkkeut land-end identity, Duryunsan views, Daeheungsa temple memory, and the Wando handoff make Haenam the emotional threshold of Korea\
