The children's complex cultural space ‘Deullaknallak’ refers to a family-friendly space within a 15-minute living radius where children can freely use book services, immersive digital content, media art, and more with their parents, fostering creativity and imagination.

Following the selection of Jeonggwan Library in 2022, Gochon Eoullim Library and Gijang Children's Library in 2023, Andersen Village is the fourth site in Gijang-gun to be chosen as a children's complex cultural space. The county plans to complete the design by the second half of this year, begin construction in the first half of next year, and aims to open the facility in the second half of 2024.

Governor Jeong Jong-bok stated, “With the additional selection of Andersen Village, we expect that by the completion of the project in the second half of 2024, children will be able to conveniently use ‘Deullaknallak’ closer to home.” He added, “We will also accelerate the construction of Andersen Village and Donghwa Village to ensure timely completion of the project and provide convenience to the residents.”

‘Andersen Village and Donghwa Village’ is a project by Gijang-gun to create play, experience, learning, and cultural spaces centered on children and families. It is being developed on a 17,889㎡ site within Gijang Ceramic Village with a total project cost of 14.7 billion KRW. Andersen Village will include a fairy tale media wall, play zone, exhibition experience hall, cafeteria, lounge, and digital learning center, while Donghwa Village will feature outdoor play facilities for children.
