Hwasun-gun, South Jeolla Province, announced that it will officially operate Cheongchun Sinjakro Eoullim Square as a "Youth Culture Playground" where both young people and residents can gather, relax, and enjoy together.

The county plans to invigorate youth cultural activities centered around Eoullim Square and implement the "Cheongchun Sinjakro Four Seasons Culture Revitalization Project." Starting this year, the space will be expanded beyond event-centered use to become an open cultural venue where young people can relax, communicate, and experience diverse cultures in their daily lives.

The county will push ahead with the "Cheongchun Sinjakro Four Seasons Culture Revitalization Project" to activate youth culture activities, with Eoullim Square at the center.

This project is linked with the Hwasun-gun Youth Center "Cheongchun Deullak" and the youth growth project support initiative "Cheongchun Oreum," focusing on operating youth participation-based cultural programs and strengthening the foundation for young people to gather and engage in activities naturally.

The county will officially launch operations from mid-April, and plans to continuously vitalize Eoullim Square through cultural content reflecting the characteristics of each season.

In spring, the "Cheongchun Picnic Day" will introduce picnic-themed cultural events and create spaces where young people can freely relax and enjoy themselves.

The event will offer various programs such as a one-day class for making pizza with one hand, discovering personal coffee preferences through hand drip, and a mat picnic zone, allowing young people to enjoy leisure and relaxation at their own pace. In particular, the programs are designed to encourage participation not only from single-person households but also from families, promoting natural exchanges between different generations.

In summer, the county will hold the "Waterfull" event featuring water play programs; in autumn, cultural performances with participation from young artists and local performance teams; and in winter, a tree photo zone and small-scale cultural events, developing the space into a year-round destination.

Jo Mihwa, Head of Population and Youth Policy Division, said, "Cheongchun Sinjakro Eoullim Square is a space where young people can relax, communicate, and enjoy culture in their daily lives," adding, "We will connect the youth center and related initiatives to turn it into a cultural playground that young people can participate in and shape themselves."

Meanwhile, Hwasun-gun has operated busking performances at Cheongchun Sinjakro over the past two years.
