Busan, a seaside city with seven beaches... Praised as the best city and 'super eorising holy place'

On the evening of the 16th, the city of Busan successfully concluded the Seven Beach Earthing Challenge Gwangalli Edition at Gwangalli Beach, co-hosted with Busan Ilbo, Busan City Council, Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and BNK Financial Group.

Seven Beach Earthing Challenge Gwangalli Edition.

Earthing refers to connecting our bodies to the earth by grounding the soles of our feet to the ground, allowing free electrons present on the earth's surface to be absorbed barefoot. Its benefits have already been widely publicized through various broadcasting channels and social media, sparking an earthing craze as a new national movement since last year.

The event was attended by over 4,000 pre-registered participants and proceeded in the following order: a pre-event performance, an introduction to the earthing course and warm-up stretching, followed by a barefoot beach walk covering a total of 2 km (1 km round trip) along the sandy shores of Gwangalli Beach.

Additional activities included interactive events with participants and a health experience center booth.

Through the event, the city focused on providing participants with opportunities to enhance the health of their feet and achieve balanced walking, while also allowing them to feel a deep connection with nature even within the city environment.

The city plans to continue offering new experiences and opportunities for those seeking a healthy lifestyle through various activities in the future.

Participants shared that the event was more than just a walk; it was a valuable time to feel a deeper connection between the city and nature. They praised Busan, a maritime city with seven beaches, as the ideal location to become a mecca for Super Earthing (barefoot beach walking).

They also enjoyed a healing experience, relieving stress and finding body balance by walking barefoot on the sand while listening to the sound of the waves.

The city plans to hold the Seven Beach Earthing Challenge at Dadaepo in September and Songjeong in November, following this second Gwangalli edition, with the goal of covering all seven beaches by 2025.

Ahn Cheolsoo, Director of the Green City Bureau, stated, "To realize Busan as a barefoot walking-friendly city, we will continue to create various earthing programs utilizing our parks, forests, and marine resources." He added, "We ask for your continued interest and support for the next event at Dadaepo, scheduled for September."
