Opening Ceremony of Jungnang Yangwon Media Center at 3 PM on the 15th...Nation's First Direct Operation of Two Media Centers
Featuring 780㎡ Area with Cinema, Multipurpose Studio, Book Cafe, and Video Editing Room

On the 15th, Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will open the ‘Jungnang Yangwon Media Center,’ a media hub that will serve as a guide amid the overwhelming flood of media.

This is the second media space in Jungnang-gu following the opening of the Jungnang Myeonmok Media Center in December 2021. With the opening of the Yangwon Media Center, the district has become the first local government in the country to directly operate two media centers.

The Jungnang Yangwon Media Center has an exclusive area of 780㎡ (approximately 236 pyeong) and is equipped with a movie theater, multipurpose studio, professional recording studio, visible radio studio, book cafe, and video editing room. It will be responsible for everything from media education to media cultural activities for Jungnang residents.

In particular, the 52-seat movie theater named ‘Cinema Nofil’ after the late film director ‘Nofil,’ who rests in Mangwoo History and Culture Park, is a special space unique to the Jungnang Yangwon Media Center. It is a dedicated space created to allow residents to enjoy movies with greater immersion, where various independent art films and classic movies will be screened, and small-scale film festivals will be held.

Additionally, a book cafe space has been prepared so that residents can freely and comfortably enjoy cultural activities such as media-related reading, meetings, and OTT viewing. The multipurpose studio can be used as a filming location for videos or live commerce, and the visible radio studio enables live broadcasts such as YouTube and podcasts.

The video editing room is equipped with various editing programs to support any Jungnang resident in becoming an independent media creator.

Various media spaces in the center can be used by any resident after signing up as a member. The center also provides media equipment rental services, such as vlogging shooting packages and camera lenses, to support residents’ media creation activities. However, renting media equipment requires membership registration at an annual fee of 10,000 KRW.

In addition, the district plans to operate various programs linked with local elementary, middle, and high schools. These programs include the ‘Visiting Media Bus’ education, where participants can encounter and learn about unfamiliar media equipment, and the ‘1DAY School-linked Media Education Program,’ which offers hands-on experience with media-related jobs.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi said, “The Jungnang Yangwon Media Center will serve as a guide to help residents learn about media and how to utilize it amid the overflowing media content. We will operate the center solidly by preparing diverse programs that allow everyone from children to seniors to enjoy media and cultural activities.”
