The temple stay program 'Naneun Jeollo' is gaining popularity among unmarried men and women, with 7 out of 12 couples formed during the 'Naneun Jeollo, Baekyangsa' session.

According to Yonhap News on the 3rd, the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism Social Welfare Foundation (hereafter 'the Foundation') announced that during the 1-night, 2-day temple stay held at Baekyangsa Temple in Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do from the previous day to the 3rd, 7 pairs of men and women mutually expressed affection for each other. Among 12 men and 12 women participants, more than half became couples.

A total of 947 people applied for this event, including 472 men and 475 women, and the Foundation selected participants through its own screening process. Ven. Mugong, the head monk of Baekyangsa, presented a 'Hyun-Couple (real couple) Blessing Money' as a wish for the couples formed this time to maintain good relationships even after the event ended.

Participants also experienced temple cuisine under the guidance of master chef Ven. Jeonggwan during the temple stay.

Meanwhile, the Foundation will hold the 'Naneun Jeollo, General Alumni Meeting' for those who participated in this year's 'Naneun Jeollo' at the Korea Cultural Training Center in Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do on July 14-15.
