Note:
(a) "My Korean-American wife and I became addicted to a K-drama called Our Blues. * * * Gimpo airport [near Seoul; 'was the main international airport for Seoul and South Korea before being replaced by Incheon International Airport in 2001': en.wikpedia.org for Gimpo airport] * * * The April 3rd Incident, or the Jeju Uprising, an anti-government revolt that began in 1948, took the lives of an estimated 10 percent of the island's population, sowing great distrust of the government in Seoul. * * * The grounds, especially around the pool, resonated with cries of 'Omma!' [defined in (b)] and 'Appa!' [hangul: 아빠; akin to 'dad' -- informal way to say father] as children happily shuffled around in the heat next to their recovering parentals [I think this s a typo; it should be parents; parental is always an adjective] and often their grandparents."
(i) Our Blues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Blues
(ii) Gimpo International Airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimpo_International_Airport
("The name 'Gimpo' comes from the nearby city of Gimpo [金浦市], of which the airport used to be a part")
(iii) Jeju Uprising https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeju_uprising
("known in South Korea as the Jeju April 3 incident (Korean: 제주 4·3 사건), was an uprising on Jeju Island from April 1948 to May 1949"/ table/ photo caption: "Jeju inhabitants awaiting execution in late 1948")
(b) Korean-English dictionary:
* 우리들의 is "our."
^ 우리들 (pronoun): "we, us" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/우리들
^ -의 : "genitive case marker" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-의
* 블루스 (n; romanization: beulluseu): "(music) blues" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/블루스
^ I think blues can be anything, from depression -- not just music.
* 사건 (n; romanization: sa-geon; hanja: 事件) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/사건
* 엄마 (n; romanization: eomma): "mom, mommy" See 'Mother,' 'Mom,' or 'Mommy' in Korean: Quick Translations. WikiHow, undated https://www.wikihow.com/Say-Mother-in-Korean
(compare 어머니, 엄마 and 어머님: the last is honorific of 어머니, per Wiktionary)
* regarding "Beomseom Island, or Tiger Island" in (c) below:
^ 범 (n; romanization: beom; NOT represented by hanja -- in this posting, hangul in the absence of hanja signifies none: no corresponding hanja): "(dated) tiger" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/범
^ 섬 (n; romanization: seom): "island, isle" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/섬
^ In Korean, both 섬 and 도 means island, but the former originated from native pronunciation (hence without corresponding hanja; 'native' or indigenous much like Japanese pronunciations of kanji), but the latter is pronounced "do" derived from hanja 島 (as in 濟州島 제주도. en.wikipedia.org for "Jeju Island").
* 돌 (n; romanization): rock, stone" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/돌
* 하르방 (n; romanization: hareubang): "grandfather" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/하르방
(c) "Driving inland from the airport in the north to the town of Seogwipo in the south, where the JW Marriott is located * * * uninhabited Beomseom [defined in (b)] Island, or Tiger Island (supposedly it resembles the crouching beast), in the near distance. Daytime is orchestrated by cicadas, and at night you can see the twinkling lights of ships whose crews are hunting for hanchi, a delicious local cuttlefish. * * * Jeju's yuchae flower, a relative of the canola, and the island's gray basalt are frequent design cues. * * * Abalone and black pork (made from the adorable and delicious local black pig) are two of the island's best-known staples. At the restaurant the Flying Hog, Jeju's best foods are set on fire in a series of dedicated ovens."
(i) Seogwipo[Si] 西歸浦市 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seogwipo
(ii) The hanchi is a Korean word (한치), and should be italicized. In science, it is Uroteuthis chinensis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uroteuthis_chinensis
, whose name in Taiwan is 小卷 https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hans/小卷
("台湾通常不以鱿鱼称之，而习惯将各种锁管的幼体称为小管或小卷") (管, 卷 in Taiwan share the same pronunciation.)
(iii) 유채 (romanization: yuchae; hanja: 油菜; English: rapeseed) https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/
(d) "The local Hanwoo beef is one of the best I've ever tasted in Korea, which is saying a lot given the national obsession with quality beef. * * * A slice of the island's famous abalone is pressure-cooked in sake, then bundled with macaroni and Gruyère to form an unexpected croquette. * * * This is the famed Olle Trail, the brainchild of Jeju-born former journalist Suh Myung-Suk. Two hundred seventy-two miles of scenery are signposted by pretty blue and orange ribbons circumnavigating the island"

(A) Jeju Olle Trail 제주올레길 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeju_Olle_Trail
, where 제주 is 濟州, 길 (romanization: gil) is road, and represented by 올레 (올's romanization is ol, and 레, re (Jorean obviously is like Japanese, which does not differentiate r and l sound).

(B) Kyushu Olle : Takeo, Karatsu, Ureshino Courses. 国土交通省 九州地方整備局 (Japan), undated https://www.qsr.mlit.go.jp/suishin/story2019/english/07_9.html
("Olle are something that began on Jeju Island, Korea. In the local dialect, 'olle' means, 'a narrow street for going home,' and today it has become a general term for routes for backpacking while enjoying nature")
So Japan applies the word to Kyushu trails.
(e) "my wife and nine-year-old son and I managed to scale the storied Seongsan Ilchulbong, a dormant volcano at the eastern end of the island. Rising above the landscape like a fortress swaddled in the deepest green, it plays an unmistakably spiritual role in the lives of islanders. Many of its rocks, made of volcanic ash, are said to possess the qualities of guardians—like the dol hareubang, the 'stone grandfather' figures placed outside Jeju residences as protection against demons. * * * The Korean-ish menu (gnocchi with galbi) isn't bad either. Ilchulbong is a scenic wonder, but the real challenge lies in the very center of the island, the shield volcano of Hallasan—Korea's tallest mountain * * * Haenyeo [해녀; 海女] * * * Simple dishes such as roasted buckwheat and sweet potato and ssäm with sea urchin give a taste of life on an island * * * "
