Anyone who has completed airport security screening and wishes to enjoy a unique activity during their waiting time can participate for free.

Kim Doo-hwan, head of the Seoul Regional Headquarters of Korea Airports Corporation, said, “We hope that passengers using Gimpo Airport will have an enjoyable waiting time through this traditional culture event held in cooperation with the Korea Cultural Heritage Foundation.”
