Additionally, various outdoor busking performances with themes such as exciting Korean traditional music, singers from North Korean defectors, and Taekwondo will be held 4 to 6 times daily to enhance the Chuseok atmosphere.

On the 9th at 11:30 AM in front of Gyeongju Tower, the Dokdo Love Sports Performance Team will present a Taekwondo demonstration featuring Taemu and breaking techniques, known for precise and disciplined poomsae comparable to idol group choreography and high-level Taekwondo skills.

On-site prize events will offer traditional game sets (including kite sets, marbles, Yutnori, etc.) and Expo souvenirs.

Furthermore, the East Asia Lantern Festival celebrating the '2022 East Asia Cultural City Gyeongju' will be held during the Chuseok holiday, providing even more attractions.
