South Korea is this context similar to an island . While it is peninsula the only land border is with North Korea and highly guarded , effectively you can only enter by flying in just like an island.

Not just flying. South Korea is also connected to Russia, China and Japan by ferry.

Not sure about the Russia and China routes but the Busan-Shimonoseki ferry is pretty impractical. 13 hrs and about as expensive as a flight. More if you consider train costs from Shimonoseki.

Busan-Fukuoka ferries go directly between two huge cities and are priced competitively, particularly if you get a cabin instead of paying for a hotel.
