[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) has newly launched souvenirs utilizing the district's representative tourist attractions, including the 'Songpa Dullegil' trail.


The district produces new souvenirs every year themed around culture, history, and tourist attractions for visitors to Songpa, which are sold at the Songpa Tourism Information Center.


This time, the souvenirs were made more meaningful by incorporating ideas from residents. The designs actively utilized award-winning entries from last year's 'Tourism Souvenir Idea Contest,' excellent designs, and the Songpa-gu urban brand. The district also added that the souvenirs were produced with charming designs and reasonable prices to be friendly and accessible to everyone.


The newly released souvenirs include a total of five items: masking tape, mugs, post-its, socks, and 3D postcards, all designed with practicality and cost-effectiveness in line with the latest trends.


In particular, the masking tape and mugs featuring Songpa Dullegil stand out. The masking tape expresses the Songpa Dullegil BI character in emotional pastel tones. Available in two widths, 15mm and 20mm, it can be easily peeled off and stuck back on, making it useful for self-interior decoration and more.


The mugs also feature a vibrant design using the Songpa Dullegil BI. They depict Songpa-gu's representative tourist resources such as Songpa Dullegil, Seokchon Lake, Seokchon-dong Ancient Tombs, and the Peace Gate of Olympic Park as simple icons, and are produced in tall and short sizes for convenience.


Additionally, the district produced post-its utilizing 'Songpa Sandae Nori,' a nationally designated important intangible cultural asset and the only mask play preserved in the Seoul area. The post-its feature drawings of the Nojang mask and Haesan Eomeom mask, with an introduction to Songpa Sandae Nori on the back of the packaging. Various new souvenirs were also released, including socks featuring Songpa Dullegil and the district's characters 'Songsong' and 'Papa,' as well as 3D postcards showcasing tourist attractions.


Along with these, popular existing Songpa-gu tourism souvenirs such as snow globes, grip-toks, and eco-bags can be purchased at the Songpa Tourism Information Center (206 Songpanaru-gil) and the cultural experimental space 'Hosoo' (256 Songpanaru-gil) located around Seokchon Lake.



Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, "We develop and produce tourism souvenirs that capture the characteristics of Songpa every year in line with changing trends," adding, "We will continue to develop various contents based on Songpa's unique tourism infrastructure to create Songpa as a cultural tourism city visited by people worldwide."
