[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 14th, Changwon City in Gyeongnam held the '15th Samwonhoe Cultural Festival' at Changwon Sports Park to promote harmony among Samwonhoe members and the development of local traditional culture. Samwonhoe is a local cultural organization.

The event was attended by about 400 people, including Mayor Heo Seong-mu, and those originally from Changwon-myeon, Sangnam-myeon, and Ungnam-myeon before the development of Changwon City.

Various events were held, including traditional cultural experiences such as Jegichagi, Yutnori, and Gongginori, crafting experience sessions, and the warm traditional Korean music performance called Pungmul Eoullim, providing a venue for communication and harmony among members.

The senior members' longevity photo shoot continued and developed the traditional custom of Samwonji, which wishes for the health and well-being of family and neighbors.

Mayor Heo said, "I am grateful for the sacrifices of the Samwonhoe members who made today's Changwon City possible," adding, "I hope you revive old memories with neighbors you shared time with after a long time and continue to show interest in the region and work together for regional development."
