Hikers at Gyeyangsan mountain in South Korea encountered a large swarm of 'lovebugs' at the summit, as seen in a viral video shared on social media. The hikers found themselves surrounded by the insects forming a thick carpet, with one hiker using an electric bug zapper to fend off the bugs. Lovebugs, known for flying in pairs, have been increasingly seen in large numbers in parts of South Korea in recent years, as reported by local media.
