Muan County in South Jeolla Province will host the 5th Muan YD Festival, a celebration of youth supporting the passion and dreams of young people, from November 14 to 16 at Naman Central Park and its surrounding areas.

Marking its fifth year, this festival aims to encourage the creativity and spirit of challenge among young people and to promote intergenerational communication. A variety of performances and hands-on programs have been prepared.

The opening ceremony on November 14 will kick off the festival with a pre-ceremony performance by the Marine Corps Honor Guard and Military Band, followed by a spectacular celebratory concert featuring Ailee, Min Kyunghoon, and Kassy.

On the second day, November 15, a street parade will take place with over 1,000 participants, including the Marine Corps Military Band, sports cheerleaders, percussion performance teams, university students, and youth organizations. There will also be a national dance competition and guest performances spanning various genres by Mushvenom, Homies, Bank to Brothers, Lady Bounce, and Cyburger.

The final day, November 16, will feature a national band competition, with rock performances by Guckkasten, Cherry Filter, and N-bun-euil, bringing the festival to a powerful close.

In addition, a wide range of youth-oriented experiences will be available, including a 3X3 street basketball tournament, YD bonfire zone, youth busking, digital experience zone, makerspace, youth platform programs, Marine Corps Marine Challenge, Fourth Industrial Revolution Experience Hall, and an arcade game zone.

There will also be exhibition and sales corners reflecting the region's unique characteristics, such as a Muan agricultural specialty products market, a joint promotional booth for Naman stores, and an exhibition of Muan-grown chrysanthemums. On-site participatory events will include a "dress code event," where visitors wearing white tops and jeans will receive prizes.

Muan County Governor Kim San stated, "The YD Festival has established itself as Muan’s signature festival, planned and created directly by young people. I hope it becomes a festival where the younger generation can freely express their passion and support each other's dreams."
