'This Year's Gumi Ramyeon Festival' Created by Citizens ... Citizen Representative Planning Committee Open for Applications Until the 26th

Gumi City has set the basic direction for operating the ‘2023 Gumi Ramen Festival’ with the aim of encouraging citizen participation and revitalizing the local economy, and is publicly recruiting about 10 citizen representative planning committee members until the 26th.

The recruitment target includes citizens who have a strong affection and interest in the ramen festival and local tourism. Both employees of local companies and students are eligible to apply. The planning process aims to reinterpret the value of ramen not as an event-based festival material but as a cultural festival, with separate recruitment criteria applied by generation and age group.

The ‘2023 Gumi Ramen Festival’ planning committee will consist of about 15 members, including citizen representatives, performance planners, festival directors, and traffic experts. The expert group will provide festival consultation, while the non-expert group, including citizen representatives, will play a role in presenting diverse opinions.

2023 marks the meaningful 60th anniversary of the birth of ramen in South Korea.

Held over three days from November 10 to 12 in the second half of the year, the ‘2023 Gumi Ramen Festival’ will take place mainly along Yeokjeon-ro across from Gumi Station. The festival program will connect Gumi Saemaeul Central Market, Munhwa-ro, and Geumridan-gil, and is planned to be South Korea’s only urban ramen festival that goes beyond experiencing ramen as food to include nostalgic food culture by life cycle and diverse global noodle cultures.
