The city plans to collaborate with two influencers specializing in travel and winter sports, primarily targeting the 2030 generation who mainly use Instagram. The goal is to present Taebaek's captivating winter landscapes and local tourist attractions in a more stylish and engaging way, offering promotional content from a fresh perspective.


The filming will focus on key tourist sites, including Hwangbuja Daughter-in-law Park, which has recently gained attention due to the installation of nighttime landscape lighting, as well as Tongri Tantan Park and Hwangji Pond.


Videos will capture the nighttime scenery where winter lights and illuminations blend together, emotional walking trails, and seasonal experiential tourism elements. These will be released sequentially through the influencers’ Instagram accounts starting in mid-December.


A Taebaek City official stated, "As recent travel trends focus on emotional experiences and real-time sharing, collaborating with influencers will serve as an effective opportunity to quickly spread awareness of Taebaek’s tourist attractions nationwide. We also expect it to help revitalize stay-type tourism and enhance the city’s image."


Meanwhile, throughout 2025, Taebaek City has continued to pursue a year-round, seasonally tailored social media tourism promotion strategy, including influencer collaboration content production for spring and summer and the '2025 Taebaek Autumn Video Contest.'



Going forward, the city plans to accelerate the establishment of the 'Taebaek, a year-round tourist city that everyone wants to revisit' brand by producing digital content that highlights the unique characteristics of each season.
