On the 29th, Busan Coast Guard and other authorities tried to release the shark 'Bukangi,' which had been staying for over ten days, by deploying a boat and water pump into the artificial waterway at the waterfront park, but were unsuccessful. The rescue operation was carried out by the Coast Guard's 4.6-ton 3-ton rescue boat, three firefighting rescue boats, and five vessels using water pumps to drive the bukangi out. The water jets created foam and noise to lure the bukangi out of the channel.  Bukan avoided the current by quickly swimming behind the vessel by sticking close to the waterway, which was difficult for ships to access. Because of this, the ship that lost Bukang would move back into the channel to repeatedly push him out. Accordingly, the authorities decided to activate a 'Plan B' in case rescue operations using water pumps fail, using nets to drive Bukan out of the channel.  Since making the net takes time, rescue operations using it are expected to be possible as early as the 2nd of next month. Using nets can tightly block the waterway where the water pump stream escaped. Bukan was first discovered on the 18th in the artificial waterway of the waterfront park, and as people gathered to see the giant sharks up close, the park overnight became a national landmark. Although the drive operation failed,   citizens cheered as Bukan leisurely swam away, and by the 28th, the cumulative crowd gathered to see Bukangi had reached 607,000. Thanks to its record-breaking popularity, Busan City officially appointed Bukangi as an honorary ambassador. Seeing sharks in the aquarium feels different from seeing sharks in person!!!!!!!
