Hmmm, not sure those are completely correct, so what the hell? I'll throw my hat in the ring. Though I think CH pretty much nailed it.

We have a problem here GI,
I have checked Korean sources on the name of this site and there are some conflicts about its name, because some sources refers to this terminal as “Songdo LNG terminal (송도 LNG기지)” while others refers to as “Incheon´s Songdo LNG Terminal (인천시, 송도 LNG기지)”. So which one is right?
I personally believe that since this is a Korean site a Korean source is more reliable than a foreign source, and if we apply the Korean grammar rules to both names it is obvious that the name of the site is “Songdo LNG Terminal” because the second name just states that this terminal is located in Incheon.
Any idea? Anyway, whatever your decision might be here, I will accept as final decision, ok?

"We have a problem here GI"
Listen here, Dr. Yu…
The only problem you are going to have is if you make same pathetic attempt to cheat me out of my glorious victory in my moment of radiant triumph!
Actually, I suspect it was first called 인천 LNG and later referred to as 인천 송도 LNG… much like some signs to Incheon Airport still say "New Airport"… which, at the time, I thought was an amazingly short-sighted name.
Here is a 3 year-old example of it being called 인천 LNG, without 송도, in a Korean article.

So, what is correct? Well, probably both… as it can have many names… just like the United States, America, and the USA?
Further, it is referred to as Incheon LNG in English-language literature… including that which is published by Korean sources.
So, like "Korea" or "한국", its name may be different in different languages… but still correct.
On a purely academic level… and, in absolutely no way affecting my already-awarded-and-set-in-stone Korea Finder point… it would be interesting to see a picture of the sign at the entrance of the island.

Chickenhead,
Your reasoning is not bad, but past is past, what matters is now, what it is called now, so this is going to be my second point, and you will keep trying for first point in the next Korea finder, because this is already mine.
Sorry buddy !!!! Keep trying !!!

Fact is, Dr. Yu, Chickenhead would have still gotten it right if he had said, "It's that bigass island near Incheon Airport".

"Fact is, Dr. Yu, Chickenhead would have still gotten it ight if he had said, “It’s that bigass island near Incheon Airport”."
Which one of them?

Sorry Dr. Yu but Chickenhead gets the point because with either description the site was properly located.

Ok. No problem.
Congratulation Chickenhead!!!
