In recent years, South Koreans have been flocking to climb Mount Hallasan, the country's highest peak located in Jeju Island, to eat instant noodles and take photos at the 1700-meter summit. This trend has led to a messy situation on the mountain top with scattered noodle containers and spilled soup causing land degradation and wilting of vegetation. To address this environmental issue, the Hallasan National Park authority has initiated a campaign urging visitors to finish their noodle soup completely and imposing a fine of 200,000 Korean won (about 4,700 New Taiwan dollars) for littering. The popularity of enjoying instant noodles at the mountaintop has unfortunately resulted in negative ecological consequences.
