20,000 Visitors in Two Weeks: "Bukang Is Here" App Gains Popularity

The popularity of "Bukang," the shark at Busan Bukhang (North Port), shows no signs of slowing down.

Now, even an app that shows real-time updates on Bukang's current location is gaining popularity, right?

A graduate student at Pukyong National University has developed a web service titled "Is Bukang There Right Now?"

The system works by having citizens at the site click "Visible" or "Not Visible" and upload photos, which then marks the location where Bukang was spotted on a park map.

It tracks and shares Bukang's location in real time by receiving sighting reports from visitors at the scene.

The service began operating on September 22, and it has gained immense popularity, with cumulative visitors reaching 20,000 in just two weeks.
