Members of the Hanok Village Eojin Forum pooled their membership fees to purchase bottled water themselves and distributed it to tourists waiting to park at the Hanok Village public parking lot.

They plan to continue this bottled water distribution event every Saturday and Sunday until the 15th of next month, starting from the 1st of this month, to soothe the hearts of tourists tired from waiting to enter the Hanok Village public parking lot and from the heat, while also extending a warm welcome.

Jo Moon-gyu, chairman of the Hanok Village Eojin Forum, said, "Following last year, many tourists are visiting Hanok Village again this year, so it is time to make efforts to turn Hanok Village into a travel destination that visitors want to return to and stay longer." He added, "We will continue to actively work to strengthen the community bonds centered around the Hanok Village Eojin Forum and become a driving force in creating a sustainable Hanok Village."

Meanwhile, the Hanok Village Eojin Forum is an organization formed in 2014 by business owners in the Jeonju Hanok Village area to seek continuous development plans for the Hanok Village, currently with 54 active members.

They invited 30 marriage immigrant women to provide opportunities to promote Hanok Village’s cultural content, such as Hanbok and craft experiences. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they also consistently worked to revitalize Hanok Village by distributing masks and hand sanitizers free of charge to visitors and donating 5.5 million won in funds to overcome COVID-19.
