Why Experience This
What started as a marketing campaign for Boryeong's mineral-rich cosmetic mud became Korea's most international festival. Daecheon Beach transforms into a mud playground with slides, pools, wrestling pits, and concerts. It's gloriously silly, surprisingly good for your skin, and quintessentially Korean fun.
