The core elements include: ▲Creating a "Hydrangea Garden" that offers beauty throughout all four seasons ▲Installing "Nighttime Landscape Lighting" for safe and atmospheric viewing even at night ▲Redesigning the entrance to improve visitor convenience and visibility.

Through these efforts, the plan is to make "Dalha" more than just a music exhibition space, transforming it into a complex cultural and relaxation area where citizens and tourists can always come to rest and enjoy themselves.

The city is currently conducting basic and detailed design services for the "Hanguk Gayochon Dalha Outdoor Landscape Improvement Project." The basic design will be finalized soon, followed by the completion of detailed designs, with full-scale construction set to begin in the second half of this year. The goal is to complete the construction by next year.

"Hanguk Gayochon Dalha" is a space themed around "Jeongeupsa," the oldest surviving Baekje song. It honors the historical and cultural value of Jeongeupsa, which expresses the longing heart of a wife waiting for her husband who has gone out as a peddler, and also sheds light on the history of Korean popular music, giving it special significance.

The city expects that once the landscape improvement project is completed, it will secure unique tourism content that combines historical storytelling with beautiful nature and light.

Mayor Lee Haksoo stated, "This project is a core effort to make Hanguk Gayochon Dalha a tourist destination with unique charm both day and night," adding, "Beyond simply improving facilities, we will carry out the project thoroughly and promptly so that visitors can have a memorable and enjoyable experience, further enhancing the appeal of Dalha."
