A South Korean mountain mentioned by a television fortune teller has seen a surge in visitors, including a mix of miscreants and thoughtless tourists who have left an unfortunate mark on the picturesque site. According to a local media report, the curious case began back in January when popular mystic Park Seong-jun appeared on the variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' and offered a rather ringing endorsement of the location. "When your luck isn't turning around, go to Gwanaksan," the fortune teller told television viewers, advising them that climbing the mountain "can open up positive energy."
