The mysterious event is actually an annual natural phenomenon unique to the Jindo Sea, and has been celebrated by the Jindo county office for more than 30 years. For its 37th festival, 86,462 foreign tourists gathered to walk down the sea route. It is estimated that revenue from ticket sales will reach 590 million won.
