Organized by the Gyeongbuk Youth Federation (President Shin Gi-seong) and the Pohang Youth Federation (President Choi Yeon-woo), and sponsored by Pohang City and Gyeongbuk Province, this event is a street culture festival where young people from Gyeongbuk can come together. It was planned to invigorate the youth generation and promote communication and harmony among youth and between generations.

As the event is hosted by youth themselves, it will be filled with diverse programs that resonate with young people.

A youth market featuring young sellers such as youth entrepreneurs and social enterprises will be operated, and various booths will be set up to support youth employment and startups, including youth career consulting, resume photo shoots, promotion of local universities and companies, and provision of youth employment and startup information.

Additionally, various street busking performances such as vocal, opera, and street dance, along with recreational activities hosted by an MC such as prophecy karaoke, instant auctions, and lucky capsule draws, will be held to add to the enjoyment of the street festival.

The main events, the ‘University Dance Club Championship’ and the ‘Youth Dream Concert,’ will take place from 6 PM to 10 PM. Especially, the ‘Youth Dream Concert’ features a top-tier lineup preferred by everyone from teenagers to people in their 30s, including popular singer Yoon Ha.

Mayor Lee Kang-deok said, “I hope the youth of Gyeongbuk will fully enjoy youth culture and communicate with each other at Pohang’s Jeolmeum Street, creating good memories. Above all, we will do our best to prepare the event so that everyone can enjoy the festival safely.”

Expecting a large crowd for this festival, Pohang City will completely restrict vehicle access on the main roads of Jeolmeum Street (from the Paris Baguette intersection to the Sangdae-dong Administrative Welfare Center intersection) for 24 hours from 2 AM on June 3rd to 2 AM on June 4th.

Also, city bus routes passing through this section will be temporarily changed, and a temporary parking lot will be installed and operated at Shinhung Elementary School, which is closest to the event site.

A city official requested, “Since this is a large-scale event involving citizens and external tourists, traffic congestion around the area is expected, so please use public transportation as much as possible,” and added, “We ask for the active cooperation of all citizens to ensure the event proceeds smoothly.”
