[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 6th that it will temporarily suspend the Saturday Folk Travel performances, which were held every Saturday at 2 p.m., starting from the Seol special performance, beginning on the 8th.


Due to the recent occurrence of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus in the nearby city of Gwangju, the decision was made to temporarily suspend the performances to prevent community spread.


The resumption of the Saturday Folk Travel performances will be announced later on the official website after comprehensively considering the virus spread situation.


A representative from the Jindo-gun Culture, Arts and Sports Department said, “Although it is regrettable that the performances are temporarily suspended, we promise to prepare well during the break and return with even more refined performances.”



Meanwhile, the Saturday Folk Performances have been held continuously for 23 years since their inception in April 1997, and are a representative tourism product of Jindo, visited by 370,000 domestic and international tourists, including foreigners.
