Opened in 2014, Geoje Sea World was once known as the largest dolphin experience facility in the country. In particular, it attracted many visitors by operating the only unique program in the country where you can interact with beluga whales. Although it provided various experiences such as swimming with dolphins and meeting belugas up close, since its opening, it has faced controversy over the deaths of cetaceans and accusations of animal abuse, leading to continuous criticism of its operating methods.
Currently, an administrative lawsuit is underway with environmental authorities over the issue of overseas re-export permits for the captive belugas, drawing attention to the future of the facility.
