This year's Taebaeksan Snow Festival, running until the 16th, has been renamed the "2025 Taebaek Winter Festival" to respond to global climate change and to seek new changes from the existing festival.

In particular, this year’s festival breaks away from the traditional Taebaeksan-centered operation and will be held throughout Taebaek to spread the festival’s enthusiasm regionally. It is prepared as a program that all ages can enjoy together with "Catch! Tini Ping."
