Human history
On July 27, 1987, due to the heavy rain that occurred at the time, a landslide occurred around 5:00 am in the area of the Carnivore Enclosure section of Seoul Grand Park complete destruction, and a 10-year-old female jaguar escaped. It was confirmed that she had run away, and the search started at 12:00 on the same day, and at around 18:30 on July 28, 37 hours after the incident occurred, at 245m above sea level in here, it ended with being killed.

On the morning of December 6, 2010, while the Seoul Grand Park moved Kkoma who is a male Malayan sun bear to the quarantine area and cleaned the release area, he opened the door with his front paws and escaped to here. Since the Malayan sun bear is small enough to be captured, the zoo was planned to capture Kkoma alive rather than kill. The tracking continued for about 9 days, but it was difficult to directly capture Kkoma, and a trap operation was conducted to catch him by decoy rather than tracking to reduce the stress caused by excessive tracking. On December 13, 2010, Kkoma ate snacks, cup noodles, Yōkan, etc. and drank juices and a Makgeolli at the food stalls on the mountain. Then, two days later, on December 15, the 9th day of the escape, Kkoma was caught in the trap that had been set up, after that, he was shot with a tranquilizer gun to calm down and move inside the trap, and returned safely to the zoo.

On August 19, 2018, at 9:40 am, a dismembered dead body which is murdered was found in a hiking trail of here near the parking lot of the Seoul Grand Park.
