Right now, everyone’s obsessed with South Korea—and honestly, we get it. This month of June, we are seeing a line-up of K-Pop festivals taking place: Busan One Asia Festival (11-13 Jun), j-hope’s encore concerts (13&14 Jun) alongside BTS Festa celebrations and the Seoul Music Awards (21-Jun).
K-Pop fever has sent international searches for Busan skyrocketing by 50% year-on-year (beating Seoul’s respectable 30%)1, because apparently we’re all planning our lives around concert dates now. But here’s the thing: while you’re in town chasing your favourite idols, it’d be wasted not to check out the city’s newest adrenaline rush. Enter Taejongdae Ocean Flying Theme Park, where you can literally fly 653 metres above the ocean.
Soar Above Busan’s Coastline

Summer’s heat in South Korea can get pretty intense but here’s a breezy way to take in the sights of Busan’s coastline. Picture yourself suspended 653 metres above the crystalline waters of Gamji Beach, the salty sea breeze caressing your face as you glide through the air at exhilarating speeds.
With four ziplines in total, it makes for a fun group activity too.
Cafe with Panoramic Ocean Views
The magic of Taejongdae Ocean Flying Theme Park extends far beyond the zipline itself. At Thrill on the Mug café, visitors can sip coffee while taking in breathtaking views of the blue Busan sea through floor-to-ceiling windows. This architectural marvel, perched strategically for panoramic ocean views, transforms a simple coffee break into a meditative experience where sky and sea meet on the horizon. Pro tip: Stay here for the sunset views!
