[K-MOVE] Boryeong Mud Festival

The world-renowned Boryeong Mud Festival has kicked off in South Korea's western Daecheon Beach.

Festival visitors throw themselves into the mud pool.

The participants are also staging a fierce pillow battle, while others are enjoying mud fighting.

They are in fits of laughter even though they repeatedly slip in the muddy pool.

All the participants, including the foreign visitors, appear to be mesmerized in the charm of the Boryeong mud.

In particular, the mud is rich in various minerals, presenting the visitors with joy and health altogether.
