Officials say the shark has drawn about 600,000 visitors and turned the canal into a social media attraction despite failed efforts to move it offshore.
- On September 18, a gray shark named Bukangi was first spotted in Busan's North Port, where officials have since embraced it as an honorary mascot drawing thousands of tourists.
- The shark now shares the Korean name for the city's North Port, gaining significant local attention since its initial appearance in the canal.
- Bukangi has become a social media sensation, drawing about 600,000 visitors to the canal to witness the circling animal.
- Five vessels deployed Tuesday unsuccessfully attempted to herd the shark toward open water, with crews abandoning efforts after hours of spraying water.
- Authorities continue monitoring the situation as tourists flock to the canal, leaving Bukangi to circle local waters indefinitely while remaining a major draw.
