"Where Can I See It?"... The Truth Behind the "Most Dangerous Seoraksan Glass Bridge" Video Viewed by 4.3 Million

"Inquiries Surge Over 'Seoraksan Glass Bridge' Location"
Seoraksan National Park Office: "Clearly Fake Videos"

Recently, as so-called "Seoraksan Glass Bridge" videos have spread via YouTube and other platforms, the Seoraksan National Park Office has issued a warning regarding these false videos.

According to the Seoraksan National Park Office on January 20, there has been a surge in inquiries such as "Has a glass bridge been built in Seoraksan?" and "Where can I see it?"

These videos appear to be related to several clips that have circulated online since the end of last year. The problematic videos are uploaded under titles such as "The Most Dangerous Bridge in Korea" and "The World's Most Dangerous Seoraksan Bridge," showing visitors crossing glass bridges and roads connecting mountains. The view counts have reached 1.74 million and 2.63 million, respectively, but in reality, these videos have no connection to Seoraksan. While many comments on the videos point out that they are fake, there are still cases where people mistake them for fact and call to inquire.

The Seoraksan National Park Office stated that the content in these videos is entirely false and that there are no suspension bridges, observatories, or any facilities resembling so-called "glass bridges" within Seoraksan National Park. An official from the park said, "We are receiving so many inquiry calls that our work is nearly paralyzed," and added, "This is clearly fake news. Please verify accurate information through our official channels to avoid being misled by false information and making unnecessary trips."

Seoraksan National Park plans to continue actively responding to the spread of false and exaggerated information and will keep guiding visitors to protect nature and follow safety rules.

Meanwhile, as interest in tourism content utilizing natural landscapes has grown recently, there has been an increase in cases where videos or photos that do not reflect reality are introduced as "must-visit spots," not only for Seoraksan but also for other locations, leading to the spread of misinformation.
