A giant shark unexpectedly became the center of attention at North Port Riverside Park in Busan, South Korea , attracting over 600,000 visitors in a short period of time.
According to The Guardian on October 1, 2026, the shark was discovered trapped in a canal. Measuring approximately 3.5 meters in length, it was nicknamed "Bugang-i" by locals, inspired by the name of the northern port of Busan.
