Abstract
We report an Early Cretaceous zircon U-Pb age ($113.9{\pm}1.2Ma$) for the Heuksan-do granite located about 90km from Mokpo offcoast of the southwestern Korean peninsula. At this Aptian/Albian boundary, widespread igneous activities occurred not only in the Korean peninsula but also in the eastern China and Japan. We raise the possibility that the flat-slab subduction and delamination triggered such an episodic igneous activity over the large areas of East Asia.
