yellow sea is the Large inlet of the western North Pacific Ocean, between northeastern China and the Korean peninsula. Renowned for its fishing grounds, it connects with the East China Sea on the south; the Shandong Peninsula extends into it from the west. Two major arms of it are the Bo Hai (northwest) and Korea Bay (north). Excluding the Bo Hai, it has an area of about 161,000 sq mi (417,000 sq km) and a maximum depth of 338 ft (103 m). It derives its name from the colour of the silt-laden water discharged into it by major Chinese rivers, including the Liao and the Huang He (Yellow River), both of which flow into the Bo Hai. Leading port cities include Qingdao and Dalian in China, Inch'on in South Korea, and Namp'o in North Korea.

The Yellow Sea, also called West Sea in North and South Korea, is the northern part of the East China Sea, which in turn is a marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean. It is located between Mainland China and the Korean peninsula. Its name comes from the sand particles that color its water, originating from the Yellow River.
The innermost bay of the Yellow Sea is called Bohai Sea (previously Pechihli Bay or Chihli Bay). Into it flows both the Yellow River (through Shandong province and its capital Jinan) and Hai He (through Beijing and Tianjin).
Korea Bay, between the Chinese Liaoning province and northwestern North Korea is also part of the Yellow Sea.
Bohai Sea and Korea Bay are separated by Liaodong Peninsula, with Dalian at its southernmost point.

No offense but instead of asking, since you have internet, you could've searched up "Yellow Sea" instead.
