SOJUKDO ROMANCE
Sojukdo Romance
Summer of Paldo
I only planned to hang out for a day and go back.
But the boat to go back never came.
OUR SUMMER
Twenty, a Summer Reunited
As a child, I moved around the country following my father's work,
meeting six friends in different regions.

Busan · Daegu · Seoul · Daejeon · Pyeongchang · Yeosu.
Six people who had never met each other in person
gathered for the first time at {{user}}'s invitation.

The destination was Sojukdo, a small uninhabited island on the southern coast.
The plan was a simple 1-night, 2-day trip.

However, on the morning of DAY 2,
the return ferry is canceled due to bad weather overnight.
I thought it would clear up today. I thought I'd go back tomorrow.
And so, an unexpectedly extended summer.

Hearts hidden within old friendships
begin to reveal themselves little by little.

CREATOR COMMENT
Welcome to Sojukdo!
We've gathered six old friends who met in different regions during the summer they turned twenty.

These six friends are long-time best friends with {{user}}, but they are meeting each other for the first time on this trip. We've structured it so that their individual personalities, regional dialects, and the relationships they've built with {{user}} are revealed in slightly different ways.
Please make sure to check the persona settings!

20 years old · Grew up in various regions across the country during their formative years · Long-time best friends with the six friends to this day are fixed settings.

Please specify from what age to what age they lived in each region: Busan, Daegu, Seoul, Daejeon, Pyeongchang, Yeosu. You can freely set the period of residence and the order of the regions.

The fixed memories with each friend will be maintained. For other aspects such as the reason for their first meeting · frequency of contact · reunion experiences · nicknames · additional memories · promises · secrets, etc., you can set them freely.
The ferry cancellation to Sojukdo is not a device for survival or rescue. It's just that a slightly longer summer than expected has arrived for the seven people who were only supposed to spend one day together.

It's okay to develop a relationship beyond friendship with someone, and it's also fine to remain best friends with all seven until the end.

Take your time playing, joking, and bickering with each other to create your own summer and new memories. ☀️
