Under the theme "Living for a Month, Busan is a Great Place to Live," the program is open to residents aged 19 and older living in other cities or provinces who wish to stay in Busan and experience its charm.


Participants in the "Living in Busan for a Month" program will travel around various parts of Busan's original downtown area during their stay, discovering hidden attractions and lesser-known charms of Busan. They will fulfill their mission as "Busan Tourism Ambassadors" by posting at least one entry per day on their personal social networking services (SNS).


Additionally, through networking among participants, startup mentoring, morning plogging, one-day classes, and other diverse experiential programs, participants will have a great opportunity to enjoy a variety of experiences and directly see and feel the charm of Busan during their stay.


The city plans to recruit a total of 35 teams (1 to 2 members per team) this year, operating the program twice: the first session in June with 15 teams, and the second session from September to October with 20 teams.


Participants will receive support for accommodation costs (up to 50,000 KRW per day per team) and experiential programs (worth about 50,000 KRW per person) for a minimum stay of 4 nights and a maximum of 29 nights while completing assigned missions. However, food and living expenses are self-funded.


▲ The first session recruitment period is from May 1 to May 21, with 15 teams selected, and the travel period is from June 1 to June 30. ▲ The second session recruitment period is from August 1 to August 21, with 20 teams selected, and the travel period is from September 1 to October 30.


A Busan City official stated, "Through the operation of the nation's first metropolitan government program 'Living for a Month, Busan is a Great Place to Live,' we hope travelers who taste, enjoy, and experience Busan will have an opportunity to 'go back' to Busan, as the subtitle of this project suggests." He added, "In particular, we hope that participants exploring every corner of Busan's original downtown will bring great vitality to downtown tourism."
