The weather nationwide was cloudy on Chuseok today (September 25), but the expressions of families gathered together and citizens out for a stroll remained bright. In Busan, crowds continued to flock to catch a glimpse of "Bukang-i," the shark.

Reporter Kim Gyu-ri will bring us the Chuseok scenes.

Early in the morning, people dressed in blue ritual attire gathered at a shrine to honor their ancestors.

They adjusted each other's clothes and carefully set prepared foods on the ancestral ritual table.

Relatives gathered after a long time take photos together to capture memories.

[Lee Jae-hyuk, Lee Si-young, Lee Jae-seok / Jeonju Lee clan, Jinnam-gun faction: In celebration of the Chuseok holiday, we humbly prepared a ritual table for our ancestor Jinnam-gun. (It is fascinating. It feels like we stepped back into the past.)]

Despite the gloomy weather with rain, Namsan Hanok Village was bustling with people.

From traditional games like biseokchigi (stone-throwing game) and yut nori to playing jegichagi while holding umbrellas, visitors were fully immersed in traditional play.

[Kim Yeon-gon, Jung Yu-jin, Kim Ye-on, Kim Yi-hyun: Wearing such pretty clothes and experiencing traditional Korean culture, we are spending our time here at the Hanok village. (Wearing hanbok and coming out to the Hanok village makes me feel great.)]

At Busan Bukhang Waterfront Park, the popularity of "Bukang-i," the shark that entered the artificial waterway, continued today as well.

Citizens turned on their cell phone cameras and could not take their eyes off for even a second.

[Kang Ha-ri, Kang Kyung-woo, Kang Seo-yeon / Suncheon, South Jeolla Province: We came to Busan for the holiday and came all the way here to show the shark to the kids. (It is a bit disappointing that we couldn't see the shark closely, but it is so much fun trying to find it.)]

Following 100,000 visitors yesterday, the first day of the holiday, crowds poured in again today, prompting the Busan Metropolitan Government and other related agencies to deploy 150 personnel for safety management.

As rain made it difficult to see the Chuseok full moon in most regions, it was still a rich and fulfilling day spent with precious people in their own respective ways.
