Busan Queer Culture Festival

Busan Queer Culture Festival takes the fight for visibility to South Korea's second city — a port town with a gritty, independent spirit that suits a queer pride event beautifully. Like Seoul's festival, it has faced organised opposition from conservative groups, but the community keeps showing up with colour and determination. Pair it with Busan's famous beaches, street food, and the extraordinary Gamcheon Culture Village for a full trip.
