The beloved yellow duck always draws travelers' attention wherever it goes. After traveling to Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Taoyuan, and Keelung, the “globetrotting” duck officially landed in Seoul, South Korea today (14th). From today until November 14, you can see the duck at Donghu Lake in Seokchon, Songpa District, Seoul.

However, the duck’s “plight” isn’t limited to Taiwan. Its exhibition in Seoul today also saw it deflate and “flatten,” yet even lying on the lake, netizens couldn’t help but call it adorable. On its first day in Seoul, the yellow duck reportedly collapsed onto Donghu Lake due to strong winds, but fortunately it has now been fully repaired and is back on display.

The yellow duck's arrival in Seoul is jointly organized by the Songpa District Office and Lotte World Mall. Organizers stated that they believe the healing power of the yellow duck will bring hope and joy to local residents. The month-long exhibition started on the 14th, with a pop-up store selling yellow duck merchandise on-site, and a simultaneous yellow duck exhibition inside Lotte Department Store.
