Jeongnimsa Temple Site, the capital of Baekje, will be reborn this fall with light and music.

On August 19, Buyeo County in South Chungcheong Province announced that it held a briefing session at the Seodong Briefing Room of the county office to share detailed preparations for the "10th Anniversary of the Baekje Historic Areas' UNESCO World Heritage Listing and 2025 National Heritage Media Art Buyeo" event.

The World Heritage listing anniversary event will open on October 2 at Jeongnimsa Temple Site. This year's program features a variety of activities for all ages, including a celebratory performance by a popular singer, an exhibition of award-winning works from the Children's World Heritage Drawing Contest, and interactive events for visitors.

In particular, "National Heritage Media Art Buyeo" will transform the Jeongnimsa Temple Site area into a fantastic media stage under the theme of "Sabijeon Seung" (Inheritance of Sabi).

This project, where cutting-edge digital technology meets Baekje heritage, aims to reinterpret the spirit and culture of Sabi Baekje in a contemporary way and share it with future generations.

Since 2021, the county has introduced National Heritage Media Art annually, creating a new cultural brand. As this year marks the 10th anniversary of the World Heritage listing, the event is expected to be even more special as it takes place at Jeongnimsa Temple Site, a location rich in historical significance and symbolism.

A county official stated, "We are preparing a highly polished event to showcase the dignity and value of Buyeo as a World Heritage city," adding, "It will be an unforgettable autumn memory for both tourists and residents."
