Walked past Bukhang waterfront park on the way back from class and it's still there, doing the same lap.
Half of Busan has a photo of this fish now, me included.

perfect attendance, no sick days. I have students who'd trade their whole lunch for that record
Office chat has a standing shark update now. Productivity is down in direct proportion to her laps.
Tiny scarf is a good idea until the stalls start selling shark scarves at triple the price by Friday.
get her a tiny scarf, Busan autumn is coming
give it a week and that cafe will have a shark-shaped bungeoppang on the menu. calling it now
She's been there almost a month now. Busan city has a 3-minute response team on standby for her, which is more than I get from my landlord.
1.4 million visitors since she showed up apparently. the shark is outdrawing most festivals
the crowd photo is the best part honestly, everyone holding their phone up like it's a concert
phones up like a concert and she hasn't even done a fan service. the bar for idols is getting low 😭✨
ok but a MONTH of laps and she still hasn't taken a day off?? my gym attendance is in shambles
perfect attendance, no sick days. I have students who'd trade their whole lunch for that record
One lap a day for a month and people still show up with their phones out. That's tour-stop loyalty, I respect it.
I'm waiting for the day she gets a stylist. Great lap, but it's the same outfit every single day.
same outfit every day is very Korean office worker energy though. she's just committed to the uniform
get her a tiny scarf, Busan autumn is coming
this is peak 구경 culture (gawking, basically). a crowd forms wherever there's something to look at and nobody asks why. the shark just happens to be the best thing on offer lol
구경 culture is why my father-in-law will stand for forty minutes at a construction site. The shark is just the premium version.
Office chat has a standing shark update now. Productivity is down in direct proportion to her laps.
standing 'shark update' in the office chat is basically korean lunch small talk now. weather's out, shark's in lol
Walked past on the weekend. She does one lap and half the park gasps. Nothing else in Busan has attendance that reliable.
half the park gasps?? she has a better entrance than most idols 😭✨
I'd go just to be one of the phones in everyone else's photo. Apparently that's the attraction now.
Being one of the phones in the crowd is peak 2026. Bring a snack, call it a picnic, the shark won't mind.
