- South Korea’s northernmost province, Gangwon, two hours northeast, is a sensible first stop, not to mention the scenic shooting locale for “Okja,” a 2017 movie by the “Parasite” director, Bong Joon Ho, about a lovable pig raised on a lush mountaintop farm. Gangwon is pressed up against the infamous DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), a 160 mile-long, 2.5 mile-wide buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea.
