Cheers for the Return of 'Bukang-i': Cumulative Visitors Exceed 900,000

The North Port in Busan was packed with people who came to see the shark Bukang-i during this holiday as well, right?

Yes, following the discovery of Bukang-i, the cumulative number of visitors to the Busan North Port Waterfront Park has surpassed 900,000.

Bukang-i was first spotted on September 18 and has been staying in the waterway for 17 days.

Busan City and related agencies carried out two attempts to guide Bukang-i back out to the open sea, but both failed.

Following water cannons in the first attempt, a net was used during the second attempt on Friday of last week, but Bukang-i swam past the blocking net and returned to the waterway.

As Bukang-i shows little sign of leaving the waterway, the number of visitors coming to see it in person has actually been increasing.

On National Foundation Day alone, 72,000 citizens visited the park, and more than 69,000 visitors came yesterday as well.
