25 Engaged and Newlywed Couples in Busan to Capture Wedding Memories with Whooper Swans

내용

The Nakdong Estuary Eco Center (hereinafter referred to as the “Center”) under the Busan Nakdong River Management Headquarters announced that it will host a special event titled “Capturing Wedding Memories with Whooper Swans” for 25 engaged and newlywed couples from the Busan area.

Whooper swan pairs are known for traveling thousands of kilometers together during migration and often remain bonded for life, staying together until separated by death.

This event was designed to share the moving love story of the whooper swan while conveying the value of marriage and the importance of ecological conservation.

Classified as a Natural Monument and Endangered Species Level II, the whooper swan is more than just a breeding partner—it is a true lifelong companion in survival, migration, and nurturing. Their devoted love is considered one of the most beautiful stories in nature.

The Center will open its waterfowl alternative habitat on weekday afternoons throughout the month of May (from 3 PM to 5 PM) for the photo sessions with whooper swans, available to 25 couples.

Created in 2013 for whooper swans that could not return to the wild after treatment, this alternative habitat is renowned as one of the most beautiful sites within the Center. Currently, eight swans reside there—three marked as No. 09-3-2 and five others including swans transferred from Everland Zoo.

Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis, and participants must bring their own photography equipment.

For more details, please refer to the Center’s website (www.busan.go.kr/wetland).

Reservations can be made via telephone. For inquiries, contact the Center’s Wildlife Treatment Center at ☎ 051-209-2091~6.

Seo Jin-won, Director of the Nakdong Estuary Eco Center, stated,

“The love story of whooper swans is not just a phenomenon of nature—it is a symbol of devotion and love that we all can learn from.

I hope that engaged and newlywed couples in Busan will cultivate a love as beautiful as that of the whooper swans through this event.”
