Daecheongdo (Korean: 대청도; lit. big blue island; pronounced [tɛtɕʰɔŋdo]) or Daecheong Island is a 12.63 km2 (4.88 sq mi), 7 km (4.3 mi) long and 6.3 km (3.9 mi) wide island in Ongjin County, Incheon, South Korea, near the Northern Limit Line.[4]
The 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement which ended the Korean War specified that the five islands including Daecheong Island would remain under U.N. and South Korea control. This agreement was signed by both DPRK and United Nations Command.[5] Since then, it has served as a maritime demarcation between North and South Korea in the Yellow Sea (also called "West Sea").
The island is 19 km (12 mi) from the coast of South Hwanghae Province in North Korea.[6]
