This culture festival was a democratic-themed planned performance under the theme of “The Shout That Awakened the Brilliant Spring.”

Director Kim said, “I am pleased that the spirit of 3·15 has been reborn through a performance called the Veterans Culture Festival. I hope this will be a valuable time to reconsider the value of democracy and the value of veterans.”

The Gyeongnam Eastern Regional Office plans to promote cultural events throughout the year that combine performances and arts under the themes of independence, national defense, and democracy.
