In particular, the Yonga Birthplace event will be held in September, and participation is free of charge.

Gwangsan-gu formed a consortium with the local cultural arts education organization ‘Nori Yojeomppang’ to participate in this contest and was selected, allowing them to carry out the Early Childhood Cultural Arts Education Support Project for the second consecutive year.

Kim Sam-ho, Mayor of Gwangsan-gu, said, “The succession and development of our unique culture become sustainable when all generations enjoy and learn about it,” adding, “We will discover and provide lifecycle-based projects so that future generations can have interest and pride in our culture.”
