The Woongsang Daedong Festival is a joint Daeboreum event of the four Woongsang neighborhoods (Seochang-dong, Soju-dong, Pyeongsan-dong, and Deokgye-dong), and this year the event was organized by the Soju-dong Sports Association.

From 3 PM, traditional game experiences and pre-event activities (folk performances) took place. The main event began with the entrance of each neighborhood’s pungmul troupe, followed by a joint Jisinbalgi ritual and a ceremony. Then, the Daljip (moon house) was lit and the Daljip burning ceremony was conducted.

The event featured a variety of programs for the whole family to enjoy together, including Ganggangsullae (traditional circle dance), folk song performances, writing family mottos, jegichagi (shuttlecock kicking), and tuho (arrow throwing). Foods such as Gwibalkisul (ear-clearing liquor), bureom (nuts), and tteokguk (rice cake soup) were also provided.

Despite the inclement weather, many residents participated in this year’s Daeboreum event, sharing a meaningful time of unity while praying for a bountiful year and good fortune in the new year.

Osangho, head of the Woongsang Branch Office, shared his thoughts on the event, saying, “I hope everyone burns away all worries and illnesses with the Daljip and receives the bright energy of Daeboreum to welcome a hopeful new year.”
