"Smitten Just a Week After Leaving"... Foreigners Suffering from "Busan Pox"

Have you ever heard of "Busan pox"?

It is reportedly trending recently in places like Taiwan, China, and Japan.

What kind of illness is it anyway? Could it really be Busan? That's right. Take a look at the article.

"Busan pox" is an expression referring to a state of lingering longing and yearning to visit Busan again after finishing a trip there.

It is a new buzzword derived from "Seoul pox," which previously trended among foreign tourists.

On Asian social media platforms, reviews such as "I came down with Busan pox just a week after visiting Busan" and "The sea, night views, and food are all perfect" are pouring in.

According to the city of Busan, foreign tourists who visited Busan in the first quarter of this year actually numbered approximately 1.024 million.

This marks the earliest point in time to surpass 1 million visitors since 2014, when official statistics began to be released.

It is also an all-time record, beating last year's pace by a full month.

Behind Busan's soaring popularity are its seaside city scenery, relatively reasonable travel costs, and rich culinary offerings.
