"The Great Journey Ulsan!" is a creative musical drama produced by the Ulsan Culture and Arts Center to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the designation of the Ulsan Industrial Center.

The play was written and directed by Director Park Yong-ha of the Ulsan Culture and Arts Center, with choreography by dancer Hong Yi-kyung, who delicately expresses the sentiment of Korean dance.


The performance is accompanied by the Ulsan Pops Orchestra led by conductor Jeong Sang-su, featuring over 50 performers including Ulsan-born actor Park Young-rok, veteran local actor Hwang Byung-yoon, a children's choir, and dancers.


The performance is free to attend with first-come, first-served admission starting 30 minutes before the show.
