PHOTO Beach welcomes summer visitors
Beachgoers cool off at Haeundae Beach in Busan, Sunday, the first weekend after the beach officially opened Friday for the summer season. Other beaches in the city and those in other parts of the country will gradually start official operations over the coming week. Hot weather is expected to continue throughout the week, with midday highs in Seoul and western parts of the country forecast to surpass 30 degrees Celsius. Newsis
