[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Korea Manhwa Museum announced on the 26th that it will hold 'Manhwa Museum Cosplay Day,' an event to experience cosplay culture, and a string performance of manhwa theme songs titled 'Manhwa Meets Strings' on the 29th.

'Manbak Cosplay Day' will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the lobby of the Manhwa Museum. In line with the Halloween season, Halloween props and costume experiences, as well as a Halloween photo zone, will be available. Gifts will be given to cosplayers, and a photo zone SNS certification event will also be held. Notably, separate changing rooms for men and women cosplayers will be operated on the second floor to facilitate their convenience. Admission to the Manhwa Museum is free (regular price 5,000 won) for those wearing cosplay costumes on the day.

The 'Manhwa Meets Strings' performance will be held to commemorate Gyeonggi-do Culture Day, where a string trio will perform popular manhwa theme songs live. The string trio consists of violin, cello, and piano, and the performance will be held twice for about 50 minutes each at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. The program is divided into four parts: autumn children's songs, animation OSTs, popular songs, and manhwa film theme songs.
