Gwangju Koryoin Village, 'Breath Felt at Your Fingertips'

Remembering Forced Migration and the Independence Movement
A Family-Oriented Historical Experience Program

The Koryoin Village located in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju is welcoming the new spring with a special experiential event where visitors can fully immerse themselves in the spirit of the Koryoin people. Organized in collaboration with the Koryoin Village Resident Tourism Office, this event is a 'participatory historical experience' that traces the footsteps of Koryoin ancestors and is set to welcome tourists starting this April.

According to the Koryoin Village on the 25th, this program was planned under the theme 'Feel the Breath of Koryoin with Your Fingertips.' It is designed so that families can learn about and experience the resilient national spirit and the history of the independence movement of the Koryoin people together.

The historic village No. 1, 'Gwangju Koryoin Village,' has welcomed the new spring by launching a special experience program in collaboration with Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, and the Koryoin Village Residents Tourism Office to attract tourists.

The experience will take place twice a day, every Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., from April 12 to December. Participants will first tour the special and planned exhibitions at the Koryoin Cultural Center (20 minutes), followed by a 40-minute experiential activity.

The highlight of this program is the hands-on participatory content. The 'Koryo Ilbo Rubbing' is a mandatory activity, after which participants can choose one of the following: 'Building a Three-Dimensional Model of the Yeonhaeju Independence Gate,' 'Solving the Forced Migration Train Puzzle,' or 'Making a Mood Lamp of General Hong Beomdo.' The activities are held in a yurt (the traditional dwelling of Central Asian nomads) in front of the Koryoin Cultural Center, and children aged 5 and above up to middle school students can participate with their guardians. Participation is free of charge, and each session is limited to the first 16 applicants.

Applications for participation can be made through the official website of the Koryoin Cultural Center.

A representative of the Koryoin Village said, "We hope this will be an opportunity for children and families to naturally learn about the hidden independence movement and resilient spirit of the Koryoin ancestors."
