About 30 participants attended the lecture, which was conducted by the music meditation group Querencia. The program was divided into two parts: Part 1 featured a performance and sound experience with the Swiss modern instrument handpan, and Part 2 consisted of meditation in daily life accompanied by music.

The Uljin Geumgang Pine Forest Jigwanseoga was proposed for creation and donation to Uljin-gun by SK D&D in 2023, and the county actively cooperated to establish it in the Geumgang Pine Eco-rium Theme Exhibition Hall.

Together with the Geumgang Pine Eco-rium, the Uljin Geumgang Pine Forest Jigwanseoga aims to provide a comfortable resting space for all visitors under the theme of breath and rest. It seeks to expand Uljin-gun’s humanities infrastructure and foster a humanities ecosystem to create economic and social value and improve the overall quality of life in society.

The space setup for Jigwanseoga was completed in November, with a pilot operation in December, and official operation scheduled to begin in March 2025.

The Uljin Geumgang Pine Forest Jigwanseoga is a humanities cultural space planned by Plato Academy, with the county providing the space and SK donating the funds for its establishment.
