Oreum Industries was born amongst the volcanoes of Eastern Jeju off the coast of South Korea in 2020. The traditional local dialect calls the island’s 360+ cinder volcanoes “오름” (in English, spelt “oreum” and pronounced “oː.rʊm” or simply “orum“), a word with origins in the adjective “오르다” (“oreuda“, to climb or ascend).

One can get a lot of thinking done on a hike up these unique and peaceful hills, and the views from the top are beautiful.
