Contents

Gwangalli Beach in Busan will be lit up with impressive fireworks on Oct. 20 as the 3rd Busan Multimedia Fireworks Festival is set to kick off.

The popular festival attracts over a million people each year, but you don't have to travel all the way to Busan to watch the spectacular show this year. The Oct. 20 display will be webcast live on www. badatv.com.

This is the first time a local Korean festival will be broadcast live across the world.
On that day, wherever you are, you can watch the world's top-tech fireworks captivate spectators for 45 minutes against the backdrop of Busan's scenic Gwangan Bridge.

With the theme “Busan Sonata,” the festival uses a mix of fireworks, music and lasers to tell a special story -- “Meeting,” “Love,” “Parting,” “Reunion,” and the climax, “Busan Sonata.”

The number of fireworks will total 80,000. However, this year's festival will truly blast itself apart from previous ones through the substantial increase of large-scale special effects never before used in a Korean fireworks display.
