Jangan Cherry Blossom Road

The 2024 Dongdaemun-gu Spring Flower Festival ‘Kkot Piuri’ was held from the 30th to the 31st along the Jangan Cherry Blossom Road area.

Forsythia and magnolia were in full bloom around the event site visited by residents, and some cherry trees also blossomed, signaling the start of the festival.

Performances by local artists elevated the festival atmosphere, and the ‘Carbon Neutrality’ booth operated various programs to help residents empathize with and participate in the district’s key policy of ‘carbon neutrality.’

The food market, an essential part of the festival, was also opened. This year’s food market, organized with the participation of the local merchants’ association, reduced waste by using reusable containers and showcased local products such as Jangan Nuruk to residents.

At the event site that day, ‘Wally,’ a miniature companion horse gaining popularity, made a surprise visit and enjoyed a pleasant time taking photos with residents.

The official event, hosted by actor and singer Lee Dong-jun, the public ambassador of Dongdaemun-gu, began at 7 p.m. on the 30th. Singers Ulala Session, Woo-yeon, and Jinseong took the stage, creating a joyful occasion for community harmony with their lively performances.

After declaring the opening of the spring flower festival and showcasing his hidden singing talent to residents, Lee Pil-hyung, mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, “We were worried because the cherry blossoms bloomed late, but a miracle happened. The cherry trees bloomed just in time for the festival schedule.” He added, “Like the trees that bloomed after a cold winter, we will successfully carry out major projects such as the Cheongnyangni Complex Development and the creation of a Global TOP5 traditional market (Cheongnyang Market Mall) to make Dongdaemun-gu a happy place for all residents.”
