Haeundae Beach

Filed as: Korea and Culture // Responses: 31

If you can’t tell by now, we totally love Busan. Every time we make a video about it, be it either for the Jagalchi Fish Market, Yonggungsa Temple, or just for the train ride from Busan to Seoul, we’re always inspired to do something artsy fartsy for it. So here’s our latest video on Busan: Haeundae Beach.

We’re not sure why we feel so artsy for Busan. Busan has a totally different vibe to it than what we’re used to in Seoul. We were saying to each other when we were in Busan last that it feels like we’re not in Korea anymore, or at least not in the Korea that we’re used to. It’s so much more chill. Traffic isn’t as crazy, people aren’t as packed in together. The streets were empty and we didn’t feel the danger we usually feel in Bucheon and Seoul that we’d get run over by every car.

So here’s Haeundae Beach, except not like people are used to seeing it. Haeundae Beach is overwhelmingly popular in the summertime, where it gets so crowded that it’s oftentimes standing room only. We went on January 21st, when no one’s even thinking about swimming, but just drawing their names in the sand, taking pictures with their boyfriends and girlfriends, and looking off at the boats in the distance. We like it better that way. So we got all artsy fartsy and made a movie for it. Yeah!

Nice video! But weren't there people feeding the seagulls? I made this video in Haeundae 2 years ago, and I think feeding the seagulls was the funnest part of it! :) http://www.vimeo.com/3663046

Yeah! People were feeding the seagulls, and then freaking out when the seagulls were flying around them in swarms. Ha!

Beautiful~! Especially love the little red riding hood, i mean, kid running towards the beach at 0:33. Nothing better than an artsy-fartsy movie to capture the city of art films, home to the Pusan International Film Fest. THIS probably is the clincher for me to extend my trip so I can get myself to Busan after visiting Seoul. Love it guys! ^^

Gorgeous video! But why the sad and somber music?

Beautiful, cool & meditative. I thought "How gorgeous would that look in the summer?" But I see by your description above that it would totally lose it's charm then. Really nice vid, guys. ^_^

Yeah, we haven't been to the beach in the summer, and we actually don't want to go there in the summer, either. Seemed a lot nicer now.

Your artsy fartsy vidoes always make me want to write a short story, for whatever odd reason. I love the filming and editing you guys do for these movies as well, it's really clean. Mind if I ask what song is that? It's really calming <3

Can't wait for more of your artsy fartsy videos~!

Thanks Haneul! The song used for the video is one we made ourselves :D

That is one of the prettiest beaches I ever did see. Between this video and the Yongunsa (sp?) temple, I really want to go to Busan…
I love your use of backwards video for the 'eatyourkimchi' in the sand, very cool effect.

I'm native in Busan
You shoud visit other beach in Busan such as Songjeong, Gwangalli,Dadaepo next time.
In summer, Haeundae is too crowded. (It means you can't enjoy enough)

Very soothing video~ I love it. ♥
I hope it's still "artsy-fartsy-like" when I go there next week~! My sister, friend, and I are taking a trip to Korea, and my mom is taking us to Busan on Wednesday and Thursday. Super excited to take a bunch of pictures, even more so if it's not so busy. :3
