Plot Synopsis

WILD KOREA is a two-part documentary series that explores the natural history of South Korea. For thousands of years, Korea was known for its staggering natural beauty; now, it is better known for its decades of conflict. But beyond the battle scars and the fortifications, there's a land of stunning natural beauty and remarkable wildlife. From the jagged mountains of the east to the vast estuarine mudflats of the south and west Wild Korea explores the rich and varied wildlife habitats of this mysterious peninsular. Most astonishingly of all the series lifts the lid on the haven that exists inside the demilitarized zone, the heavily fortified area between North and South where humans fear to tread but where wildlife threatened elsewhere in the country has forged a remarkable comeback. WILD KOREA had its U.S. premiere on Sunday, January 6, 2019 from 9-11pm ET/PT, as Nat Geo Wild debuted both episodes back to back.
