An uninvited jellyfish has returned to Busan Beach, which is crowded with summer vacationers every day in hot weather.

As the number of sting accidents increases, beaches are fighting jellyfish.

Haeundae Beach is visited by over 300,000 vacationers a day.



When a report of a jellyfish infestation is received, firefighters rescue it with a stick.



Haeundae Beach is the only place in Busan where a jellyfish blocking net is installed, but these shattered jellyfish are often washed up along the coast.



In the nearby Cheongsapo waters, a 1m-long Nomura-billed jellyfish floats.



Some jellyfish have even made their way to the beach.



The appearance of poisonous jellyfish causes a commotion for vacationers to evacuate out of the water.



[Kim Hyeon-ryang/Busan Fire and Disaster Headquarters Rescue Team: Last year, compared to last year, a lot of vacationers come this year as the Corona is relieved.

First aid is being carried out because patients with jellyfish stings are occurring.]



Every beach in the Busan area is fighting against uninvited guests and jellyfish in the summer.



More than 300 jellyfish have already been collected from Haeundae alone.



There are so many sting accidents that even fishermen go out to catch jellyfish.



[Lee Man-seok/Busan Udong Fishing Village: Jellyfish don't just float on the water, they sit down to the bottom of the water, so they accidentally fall over the net.]



In fact, there were 241 cases of jellyfish stings in Busan, far exceeding the total number of cases last year.



Experts believe that the occurrence of jellyfish has increased due to the high temperature.



A jellyfish warning has been issued in the sea of ​​Busan since last month, and the fire department advised that if you are stung by a jellyfish, you must get out of the water and wash it with saline.
