Feral pigs are all over Seoul.

In many countries around the world, surging wild boar populations have become a problem difficult to tackle.

But in South Korea, things are even worse, with sightings of the fierce animals skyrocketing even in the urban areas of the capital, Seoul.

A viral video has arisen showing firefighters struggling to subdue a wild boar in an apartment building in Seoul’s Mapo District.

The images show four firefighters wrestling with the animal before it was eventually culled.

Korea Times reported:

“Six days earlier, Ewha Womans University put up an unusual notice for dormitory residents, warning them about wild boars on campus and advising them not to walk alone at night, or make any sudden or provocative movements if they encounter one. The university said it had increased patrols while spraying repellent, but failed to spot or capture any animal.

The number of wild boar sightings has been on the rise over the past few years. The incidents reflect a broader trend. According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the number of wild boars reported in the city rose 137 percent, from 205 in 2022 to 486 in 2024.”

“The surge in urban sightings comes even as the overall wild boar population has declined. Government control measures aimed at curbing the spread of African swine fever have reduced population density from 2.3 animals per square kilometer in 2019 to 1.1 in 2022.”

Shrinking natural habitats are reportedly pushing the feral pigs into urban areas in search of food.

But not all boars are trouble, as we can see in the video below.
