Romance at Haepyeong Lake: A Collaboration of Cultural Heritage and Music

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Jeollanam-do Boseong-gun announced that it will hold a romantic forest concert at Deungnyang Haepyeong Lake starting from 4 PM on July 1.

Under the theme "Warm Stone, Obongsan Gudeuljang," this concert was prepared to commemorate the designation of the 「Boseong Obongsan Gudeuljang Quarry」 as a national cultural heritage.

Pre-event activities include walking around Haepyeong Lake, taking photos holding toppers, and performances by Boseong Sori Hanmadang, offering events where visitors can experience the charm of Boseong.

At the commemorative ceremony, plaques of appreciation will be presented to those who contributed to the cultural heritage designation, and the process of designating Boseong Obongsan Gudeuljang as a cultural heritage will be shared.

The performance event is expected to be a healing time with a folk song performance by the mixed trio group Prologue and a performance by Yudal Opera.

This performance, set against the backdrop of Haepyeong Lake, is organized as a place of integration and communication where local residents and tourists can participate together.

Additionally, the event aims to make cultural heritage more accessible through music and to promote the national cultural heritage designation to the residents of Boseong to foster local pride.

A county official stated, "Through various utilization projects using cultural heritage, we will make access to cultural heritage easier and collaborate with various fields to become a 'friendly cultural heritage' by reaching out to residents."

Meanwhile, the Obongsan Gudeuljang Quarry was designated as a national cultural heritage in April 2022 following the review by the Cultural Heritage Administration's National Cultural Heritage Deliberation Committee. At that time, the committee evaluated the Obongsan Gudeuljang quarry site as "the place where gudeuljang, the core material of Korea's ondol culture, was extracted, with relatively well-preserved relics (quarry and transport routes) that confirm an aspect of industrial development, making it valuable for preservation as modern cultural heritage."
