Seocho-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) will hold the ‘Naegok Valley Festival’ on the 26th, a joint event organized by major institutions in Yeomgok Village, Naegok-dong, including Naegok Nut Tree Shelter, Seocho 50+ Center, and Seocho Dementia Relief Center.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Naegok Nut Tree Shelter and surrounding indoor and outdoor facilities. Outdoor experience booths will offer various activities such as the Dementia Relief Center’s ‘Memory Decline Test,’ the 50+ Center’s ‘Middle-aged Retirement Planning Consultation,’ and Seocho Women’s Job Corporation’s ‘Flowerpot Making Experience.’ Additionally, there will be a photo zone and food trucks serving snacks like fish cake and bungeoppang.

Hosted by comedian Yoon Jung-soo, the program will feature a performance by the classical septet team Beautiful Day, a stage by the Naegok Nut Tree Shelter Family Choir, and a congratulatory performance by Mr. Trot 2 contestant singer Ha Dong-geun, offering a rich variety of entertainment.

Also, on this day, the ‘Naegok Nut Tree Screen Park Golf’ will open for the first time. Located in the basement of Naegok Nut Tree Shelter, Naegok Screen Park Golf is a space created for residents and facility users to enjoy leisure activities and promote health. It was installed reflecting the needs of senior citizens.

Naegok Nut Tree Screen Park Golf is the largest public facility of its kind in Seoul. It consists of four screen golf booths, one autonomous putting green, and rest facilities. After a pilot operation until next month, it will officially open in January next year.

Mayor Jeon Seong-su stated, “We will continue to develop various programs for the vibrant lives of senior citizens and steadily expand cultural and leisure facility infrastructure such as the Nut Tree Shelter. We hope that through the newly opened Naegok Nut Tree Screen Park Golf, seniors will enjoy a healthy and energetic senior life.”
