Vividly Recreating Figures Who Contributed to the Development of Modern and Contemporary Children's Songs and Popular Music

Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will hold a special exhibition in the second half of 2024 at the Jungnang Mangwoo Space Education Exhibition Hall located in Mangwoo History and Culture Park.


This special exhibition is designed to highlight the figures resting in Mangwoo History and Culture Park who contributed to the development of Korean popular songs and children's songs, aiming to enhance the cultural and artistic value of the park.


The exhibition hall vividly recreates the eras when the songs were sung, providing a time that all generations can relate to.


The exhibition space is divided into ‘Mangwoo Music Cafe’ and ‘Children’s Hill.’ In the ‘Mangwoo Music Cafe,’ visitors can encounter the works of poet Park In-hwan from the 1950s and singer Cha Jung-rak, who was popular in the 1960s. In the ‘Children’s Hill,’ visitors can meet key figures of modern and contemporary music such as children’s literature writer Bang Jeong-hwan, who marked the beginning of Korean children’s songs, and representative children’s song composer Kang So-cheon.
