The 18th excavation was preceded by a trial excavation conducted by the Gyeongnam Research Institute Foundation in 2019, and the excavation survey was completed this month after receiving two change permits from the Cultural Heritage Administration in 2020 and 2021.

The site open briefing session is the first event held since the last site open meeting was conducted online on December 23, 2020, due to COVID-19. It is a meaningful event that summarizes the major achievements of the 18th Seongsan Fortress excavation survey conducted over five years and opens them to the public.

Anyone who wishes to participate can join by visiting Seongsan Fortress in person, where they can hear directly about the excavation results on site from the lead researcher responsible for the excavation.
