Yeosu's An-do (안도) is looking for an English "brand name" in order to make it better-known to foreigners, and is asking the public to help. From the 6th through the 20th, locals can submit their entries. Where they can submit their entries, I don't know. Don't worry about it, though; I'll give you three tries to guess in what language information about the English-name contest appears. *cough*
Which means that even though English-speakers aren't wanted for the actual naming, we can still take bets on what we think they'll come up with.
* "Ando Bubbling!"
* "World's most full Heritage and Green sun Light island, An-do, for all The good Environments."
* "Ando is Our Land!"
* "Beautiful Ando: Fuck fuck motherfucker fuck fuck nigga fuck fuck."
* "Aha! Suncheon."
Well, in spite of the vulgar and/or completely ridiculous name we're sure to get next month, An-do looks pretty. It's way out there off the coast of Geumo-do, which itself is off the southern coast of Dolsan-do. It's accessible by ferry from Yeosu and is part of Dadohae Haesang National Park, which goes clear over to Shinan county.

Ando — Our name is the same as that guy from "Heroes."
Oh, sh¡t! Roboseyo beat me to it! (I'd just hit COMMENT and started typing.)
You do realize, Roboseyo, that coming up with ideas similar to mine is a sure sign of mental illness.
(And I do like your #3.)
Ando: Lovely wonderful in the EAST SEA (EAST SEA, no sea of japan. No! It is not correct. How can you think it is not name EAST SEA? If you think is is not then you can see proof that is is EAST SEA at www.east-sea-is-our-native-sea.kr. Please believe us).
Ando: It is Korean Molokai.
Ando: So wonderful fresh for you.
Ando: Too close not to be ours.
