In short

Yonhap reported the program has four themes — Let's Explore, Let's Reset, Let's Climb and Let's Run — and is free for guests, with attraction admission and personal expenses paid separately.

Jeju Shinhwa World, described by Yonhap as the country's largest complex resort, said it will run a guests-only program called “Let's SHINHWA” that links accommodation with tourism in Jeju, starting Oct 19. Newsis headlined the move as extending travel beyond the resort itself. The resort said it plans to expand stay-type travel services tied to Jeju tourism rather than keeping guests within its own facilities. [ 1 , 2 ]
According to Yonhap, the program has four themes. “Let's Explore” uses a shuttle bus reserved for guests so they can travel around Jeju freely on their own schedule. “Let's Reset” covers wellness activities including stretching and pilates. “Let's Climb” is an outdoor activity in which participants walk oreum and Songaksan, and “Let's Run” is a 5-kilometre course near the resort.

Yonhap reported that all the programs are provided free to guests of Jeju Shinhwa World, while attraction admission fees and personal expenses are paid separately. Each program is used by advance reservation on a first-come, first-served basis, it said. [ 2 ]
The Newsis document carried a headline about the resort's launch of “Let's SHINHWA” but its article text concerned an unrelated Supreme Court matter, so no further detail from that outlet could be used. Yonhap's report is the source of the program's specifics, including its start date and conditions. [ 1 , 2 ]
Why it matters
The program shows a large Jeju resort packaging off-site island tourism into hotel stays, rather than keeping guests inside its own facilities, as Yonhap reported the resort saying. The audience for it is mainly Jeju-bound travellers and the island's tourism sector, so its wider relevance is limited.
