[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 17th that it will cancel the ‘2020 Singsing Concert’ and the ‘Myeongsasimni Beach Cool Concert’ to comply with COVID-19 quarantine guidelines and government and local government event operation guidelines, and to block the inflow of infectious diseases.

Accordingly, a non-face-to-face summer cultural enjoyment program will be operated, including a drive-in theater and a beach multiplex. The drive-in theater is planned to be held on the 25th at the 2nd parking lot of Sinji Myeongsasimni Beach.

The 2nd parking lot is a spacious site that can accommodate 100 cars and has easy vehicle flow, making it an optimal location for a drive-in theater.

A large screen measuring 20m wide and 11m high will be installed against the beach backdrop, and the recently released movie ‘Intruder’ will be screened.

Also, at Myeongsasimni Beach, a large multimedia show will be operated for 10 days from the 31st of this month to the 9th of next month.

A large screen will be installed on the white sand beach to screen promotional videos of Wando tourism, marine healing, and seaweed expo during the day, as well as promote restaurants and specialty product sales stores.

As a special event, various programs such as proposal time for loved ones and birthday celebration events will also be operated.

At night, movies and music videos will be screened, and various programs and events will be held day and night with special lighting and laser shows to provide cultural enjoyment opportunities to residents and tourists exhausted by COVID-19.

Movies were selected through a vote on the Wando-gun website from the 6th to the 10th, with La La Land, Begin Again, Honest Candidate, and Train to Busan receiving high responses, and these will be screened alternately over 10 days.

Lee Song-hyun, Director of Tourism at Wando-gun, said, “By promoting strong social distancing at Myeongsasimni Beach, the best domestic summer resort, we will prevent infectious diseases in advance, protect the health of residents, firmly establish Wando’s clean image, and provide unique cultural enjoyment opportunities to contribute to revitalizing the local community.”

If you want to participate in birthday celebrations, proposals, or video letter events through the beach multiplex, or if you want to advertise restaurants or specialty product sales stores, please contact the Festival Team of the Tourism Division at Wando-gun Office.
