      World-class mermaid performance staged at Shanghai's ocean park

      Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park invited a world-class mermaid performer from South Korea, whose enchanting underwater performance mesmerized audiences.

      Seolhwa Hong, commonly known by her stage name Sera, used to be a dancer, but became a mermaid performer due to an injury. She returned to Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park after winning the first place in the international players' group at this year's China Mermaid Open and International Mermaid Competition held at the park.

      "I was a dancer, but I suddenly got an accident, so I couldn't dance again. So, because I broke my leg. After that, I met the mermaiding. I don't feel painful in my knee. That's why I really like mermaiding," said Sera.

      Sera said that she recorded a song for her performance, as she is also a singer. She has been performing mermaid show for about two years. She is happy to be back because, unlike the competition, which focused more on showcasing skills, this time she had the chance to interact more with visitors.

      "I worked before in the 63 Aquarium a little bit. There was not a Korean mermaid before. I was the beginner as a Korean mermaid. Now I'm developing students, educating the underwater dance, mermaiding and prepare athletes for the competition. When there is a chance to perform, I always go there," said Sera.

      She brought a team of mermaids and merman with her to Shanghai, some of whom are her students.

      She said two years ago, many people didn't know what is mermaid performing, but now it's getting famous. So many performers joined the industry.

      The park offers six mermaid shows each weekend through August 25, featuring mermaids and mermen from around the world.
