Busan's North Port Waterfront Park has welcomed over 1.54 million cumulative visitors who came to observe a wild blacktip reef shark nicknamed 'Bukang-i.' The marine creature entered the park's artificial seawater canal a month ago and has remained there, attracting crowds equal to nearly half of Busan's resident population. Local park management recorded more than 42,000 visitors on Saturday alone.
