Starting with this event, the foundation plans to promote the global value and significance of traditional jang culture, which boasts a long history, and lay the groundwork for its continued succession and development.

The county has long been known for producing high-quality jang products thanks to its clear water, clean environment, and optimal climate conditions. In particular, Sunchang Gochujang was so renowned that it was presented to the royal court during the Joseon Dynasty. This UNESCO inscription is a valuable achievement that demonstrates the worldwide recognition of Sunchang's traditional fermentation culture.

This event is expected to further promote Sunchang County as the center of Korean traditional fermentation culture both domestically and internationally, and to strengthen its status as the "origin of Korean fermentation culture."

Main programs of the event include: ▲ a jang-making performance with tourists ▲ an urban citizens' jangdokdae (fermentation jar) adoption experience guided by experts ▲ a gochujang making experience taught in Sunchang's unique way ▲ and a fermentation cooking class that reinterprets fermented foods in a modern style.

In addition, a raffle event linked with Sunchang Fermentation Theme Park will offer visitors a variety of enjoyable experiences. A wide range of souvenirs, from special gift sets by gochujang masters to Sunchang fermentation microorganism character dolls, will be provided to create unforgettable memories for visitors.

Sun Yunsuk, CEO of the Sunchang Fermentation Tourism Foundation, said, "I hope this event will shed new light on the value of jang-making culture, which embodies the wisdom of our ancestors, and serve as a stepping stone for Sunchang's jang industry to reach new heights. I encourage many people to participate and experience the excellence of Korean traditional fermentation culture firsthand."
