42 days and counting.


At your own risk.


In a big park south of Seoul, there is a beautiful lake surrounded by untouched mountains. The park provides facilities for a variety of activities; there is a walking path around the shore, picnic areas, playing fields, hiking trails in the surrounding mountains, and bungee jumping. The facilities provide plenty of options for entertainment without marking up the scenery, with one exception. The bungee jumping platform sits on top a steel tower standing high above the surface of the lake. The tower is visible from all corners of the lake, and acts as a beacon for those navigating the hiking trails. If the sight of the tower doesn't dominate the landscape, the screaming does. The tower is open for business in the warmer months of the year. During which time, the vocals of each thrill seeker carry across the lake with piercing efficiency. Meanwhile, the other visitors can enjoy hearing and watching the brave patrons of bungee jumping; most of which are foreign.
