Now in its fourth year, Cheongajeul is an abbreviation for “a festival where youth enjoy themselves without any worries.” It is Gwanak District’s signature youth event, planned and participated in by young people themselves, showcasing their passion and creativity. This year’s festival, with the subtitle “Garden of the Mind,” is designed to offer a variety of content so that students weary from their studies can share empathy, relax, and recharge with new energy.

The event will kick off at 11:30 a.m. with a “K-POP Random Play Dance.” Around 100 youths who registered in advance last month and this month will freely dance to K-pop music played randomly by a DJ, creating a festive atmosphere. At the opening ceremony, the youth festival planning group “Cheongtist” and Mayor Park will perform together to open the “Garden of the Mind,” officially marking the start of the festival.

The main stage will feature performances by dance teams (CB Crew, Lastreet Crew), youth clubs, and the idol group Licenne, further energizing the atmosphere on site.

Spaces outside the stage will be set up as a “Healing Zone.” There will be various healing programs for youth, including a Worry Sharing Zone, Psychological Counseling Zone, Art Healing Zone, Stress Relief Zone, Photo Zone, and Garden Radio. In addition, there will be an “Exciting Experience Booth” linked to after-school activities and “School Club Booths” reflecting each school’s unique character, providing a wide range of experiences and memories for youth and visitors alike.

Park Junhee, Mayor of Gwanak District, said, “I hope that young people can set aside the tension of their daily academic worries for a while and have a happy time at Cheongajeul, freely expressing themselves and unleashing their talents and passion.”
