If you have are travelling to South Korea this summer, one event you really should make an attempt to visit is the annual Boryeong's Mud Festival. The mud festival is a quite unusual festival and I myself enjoyed visiting the festival in 2004.
There are many attractions including various mud baths, mud massages and other mud opportunities for the visitor. Taking place on Daecheon Beach in South Korea, this festival has gained popularity in many ways because the mud from Boryeong is said to have very natural ingredients which include various minerals and which are thought to be excellent for ones skin.
You can visit the official Boryeong's Mud Festival site and also read up about South Korean festivals.

I was at the mud festival in Korea several years ago when I was there for an exhibition. Love the peopel and food in Korea.
Around 180 elementary students who participated in a field trip to experience the mud festival before its actual date were admitted to hospitals with skin rashes that they described as painful and itchy. Boyreong City is investigating the origins of the skin problems. This has not happened at any other festival before. Just to warn people with sensitive skin... http://www.ytn.co.kr/_ln/0103_200907072257026149
