Ulsan 'Jangsaengpo Munhwa Changgo' and 'Jigwan Seoga' Selected for Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's 'Local 100' Contest

On the 20th, Ulsan City announced that Jangsaengpo Cultural Warehouse in Nam-gu and the complex cultural space Jigwanseoga (6 locations) were selected for the 'Local 100' (Top 100 Local Cultural Attractions) organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

This Local 100 selection was finalized through big data analysis and expert evaluation of over 1,000 local cultural attractions recommended by local governments and citizen discovery teams nationwide.

'Jangsaengpo Cultural Warehouse' is a complex cultural and artistic space created by renovating a former seafood processing warehouse, an abandoned industrial facility, and placing sculptures such as whale murals symbolizing the history of Korea's industrialization and Jangsaengpo.

'Jigwanseoga' is a complex cultural space for residents developed through cooperation between Ulsan City and SK Gas by discovering idle local spaces. Starting with the first branch in Ulsan Grand Park in 2021, it has now opened six branches.

An official from Ulsan City said, “Jangsaengpo Cultural Warehouse and Jigwanseoga, cultural landmarks of Ulsan City, were selected for the Top 100 Local Cultural Attractions, gaining an opportunity to be effectively promoted through various domestic and international channels.”

Local 100 is a newly launched project to select and promote representative tangible and intangible cultural resources of regions as a follow-up measure to the 'Regional Era Local Culture Policy Promotion Strategy' announced last March. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will focus on promoting 'Local 100' intensively for the next two years.
