Great forces were mobilized to take the Korean celebrity shark out to the open sea, but it always swims back to its favorite city.

A shark named Bukangi has become a local celebrity in Busan, South Korea, frequently returning to the city's canals despite rescue efforts. Authorities have reinforced barriers to prevent its return, but Bukangi continues to swim back after attempts to guide it to open waters. The situation has sparked mixed reactions among locals, with some wanting the shark to stay and others preferring it to leave. The warm waters and abundant fish are believed to attract Bukangi, and experts predict more sharks may appear in Busan as ocean temperatures rise. The shark has drawn over 1.6 million visitors in a month, boosting local tourism.
