From activities such as ‘Caricature’ face drawing, sock woodworking, and keychain making to exciting games like board games, balloon popping, and drone soccer, there was no shortage of fun experiences.

Food experience programs where participants made hotteok, toast, tteokbokki, fruit syrup, and potato bread themselves, as well as making wooden lathe crafts and cypress sachets, were also popular.

The Jangseong-gun Youth Planning Group, which organized the event, is known to have been preparing steadily since May.

Student Kwon Seon-woo, representative of the Youth Planning Group (Munhyang High School, 2nd year), said, “The time and effort we put in, including weekly meetings, have led to great responses, which makes me proud.”

Meanwhile, for the first time in the history of the Jangseong-gun Youth Culture Festival, a ‘meaningful ceremony’ was held. The county presented plaques of appreciation to five exemplary youths and leaders and organizations who contributed to youth development.

County Governor Kim Han-jong said, “I hope the ‘Youth Culture Festival,’ shining with passion and creativity, will establish itself as Jangseong’s representative youth festival,” adding, “The county will spare no support so that youths can happily pursue their dreams.”

As part of the 8th term public pledges, the county supports entrance congratulatory money for new students in elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as youth allowances, and recently is preparing to complete the ‘Youth Culture House’ in Samgye-myeon.
