"Hooked Just a Week After Leaving"... Foreigners Suffering from 'Busan Fever'

Have you ever heard of 'Busan Fever'?

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

What kind of illness could it possibly be? And is Busan really that Busan? That is correct. Let us take a look at the report.

'Busan Fever' is an expression that refers to a state of lingering longing and yearning to return to Busan after finishing a trip there.

It is a newly coined term derived from 'Seoul Fever', which previously trended among international tourists.

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

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

This marks the earliest point in a year to surpass 1 million visitors since official statistics began being published in 2014.

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

Behind Busan's soaring popularity are its seaside urban scenery, relatively reasonable travel costs, and abundant food options.
