![]() We enjoyed the sea in this cold winter as there is nothing can't be known before we actually do it. - Pukyong National University external public ambassador team Blue conducted publicity activities in the festival
In the morning of January 12, 27th Polar Bear Swim Festival opened in Haeundae, Busan. The festival hosted by Busan Ilbo and Haeundae Culture and Tour Council, and Pukyong National University also helped this event's operation. The external public ambassador team Blue handed hot beverage to visitors and participants in the booth on the beach side. Especially hanging picture on the front side of booth 'In Busan, Haeundae, TaeJongDae, and PukyongDae are good' was a hit of family visitors as the background of their picture. The president of Pukyong National University, Kim Young-Seup, visited this event as a guest and encouraged participants with greeting that they are true leaders of development of ocean culture as they enjoy this festival. Statistics from host showed that there were around three-thousands people jumped into the sea, and twenty-thousands of visitors enjoyed this festival. From 8:30 in the morning, Haeundae beach is getting crowded. Fortunately, the weather was relatively warm even though it was in the middle of winter.
At 11:30, the main event of this festival started with big firework. Three-thousand of people jumped into the sea without any hesitation with huge shout. Nothing can't be known before we actually do it. We hope for the best of all the polar bears in this festival. <Pukyong Today> |
