The city cited the participation of various organizations such as local attractions like Korean Folk Village and Everland, universities, and cultural and arts associations as the reason for the increased satisfaction. The city also added that it was an achievement that no safety incidents occurred during the event period, which was attended by about 40,000 citizens.

Building on the success of this year’s event, the city plans to present an even higher-level event next year.

A Yongin City official said, "To allow more citizens to enjoy the event, we will expand participation from local organizations and prepare various performances and programs for next year’s event."
