Millak Waterside Park

This guide to Millak Waterside Park in Busan starts with a laminated fine notice by the boardwalk and works backward to the years when this shoreline beneath Gwangan Bridge was known as Busan's favorite open-air bar, with soju and mats spread across the grass until dawn. It tracks the mounting complaints from a growing wall of apartment towers next door, as noise and mess collided with neighbors who hadn't signed up for the party. Suyeong district logged just three such complaints in 2019, a number that would not stay small for long.
