South Korea today proudly continued its ambitious project to convert all city streets into Olympic-level swimming pools, as torrential rain lashed the country for the third consecutive day. Experts say it is now the wettest part of Asia outside of actual fish tanks.
With over 5,000 residents seeking shelter in emergency centers—and thousands more considering relocating to Atlantis—South Korea’s love affair with weather apps has reached record-breaking heights. “It says ‘partly cloudy’ but I’m literally making origami boats out of my rent contract,” lamented Seoul resident Park Min-soo, paddling down what used to be a bustling avenue.
Umbrella sales soared, leading to the first recorded case in history of umbrella-shaped price gouging. “I just wanted something to keep me dry,” said Kim Ji-young, 44, “but the shopkeeper kept trying to upsell me a personal kayak.”
Meanwhile, city officials assured the public they were on top of the crisis. “Our new drainage system is state-of-the-art,” announced a spokesperson, standing ankle-deep in what journalists quickly dubbed ‘Lake City Hall.’ “We’ve engaged world-class bucket brigades to address overflow.”
As drainage efforts lag, the fashion world has swept in: poncho-wearing has officially overtaken K-pop as the nation’s coolest trend. Rumors swirl that next week’s “Seoul Fashion Rainway” will feature designer galoshes, with models strutting through puddles for “that authentic splash.”
Scientists confirmed that, thanks to the growing collection of lost umbrellas and street puddles deep enough to hide a modest submarine, duck populations are up 300%. Local authorities are now considering renaming parts of the capital “New Venice,” though residents disagree on whether gondola licenses should be mandatory.
As the forecast once again promises “100% chance of water,” citizens are encouraged to stay dry, stay safe, and—most importantly—upgrade their Netflix subscription for uninterrupted streaming during the storm.
