A 3.5-meter-long basking shark, dubbed 'Bucang-i', drew massive crowds to Busan's North Port Artificial Stream during the Chuseok holiday. Over 320,000 people visited the park over three days, with peak attendance on Chuseok Day (136,000 visitors). Despite rain, visitors flocked to see the shark, with around 83,000 visiting on the last day. The shark was first discovered on October 18 and has since attracted an average of about 50,000 visitors per day, significantly higher than the usual 2,000 daily visitors.
