Ok so am going down to this on saturday week. To be honest I don't really have much of a clue what it is , Is it just a big field with mud (could have stayed in Ireland for that) ? Is there any live music / djs ? I hear it's a good time anyway and I'm sure the atmosphere will be good but just don't really know it is !

Bunch of waygooks get wasted and roll around on a muddy beach while Koreans observe in disgust from a distance.

It's a fake festival invented to get the foreigners to fork money to get out of Itaewon for a weekend so they can take their anxieties out on each other. Rolling Eyes

Woodstock '99 without any live bands. Lot's of mud, lots of drunks, lots of fights, and general shenningans. Worth a peak, but honestly when all is said and done, it wasn't any different then any other drunk weekend, but there was mud and less fun bars. and holy shit is that a long bus ride from Busan. I recomend staying home and Family Mart drinking instead, because that is what you will do pretty much the whole time.

It's mostly a small town with just a bunch of pensions and seafood restuarants on a random beach. They bring in mud from some place and set up a "mud area" where they have like plastic pools of mud and slides and stuff. If i remember correctly they have a small concert in the evening time.

I think it gets bigger and bigger every year, with mostly waegooks going now-a-days. It's a lot of fun if you like to party and don't mind getting dirty. Otherwise, stay home.

If you like to party it's a good time.

If you're lame, you'll be bored.

Ok sounds like a good laugh !

Cheers for the helpful comments knew the thread would attract some snide remarks.

It's a great time if you get hopped up on soju, though some people get a bit out of hand. Example, last year saw some foreigner wash his hands in a restaurant fish tank.

I've been twice and am yet to have a coherent memory after about 8 PM. Good times. Skipping it this year though, last time around the mogis fell in love with me and I ended up with John Merrick's legs

Well, at least he didn't vomit or deficate in the tank, I suppose.

I went last year, a month after moving to ROK. It was fun, I met a lot of people, and there was also a cultural Korean show that went on whilst the foreigners drank themselves silly. I snuck in with a friend, though we were welcomed, really, because the Koreans were happy to share their culture with interested foreigners. The drums were amazing.

The mud is really thin, and you paint it all over yourself. You can also buy colored mud powder, which you add water to and paint designs. I went for the lord of the flies look, and one friend had us paint St George's cross all over him.

If you like seafood, it's great. You can sit at one of the multitude of fresh seafood shops, and they grill the stuff right at your table. Clams, oysters, conch, etc, all eaten without plates or bowls. Fun times.

Have fun!
