The Royal Palaces and Tombs Center of the National Heritage Administration and the National Heritage Promotion Agency announced on April 20 that they will operate the "Chosun Royal Tomb Expedition Team" from June 22 to 28, for a total of seven days and six nights.

This is a preliminary program for the "World Heritage Chosun Royal Tomb Festival," which will be held in October. Participants will visit forty Chosun royal tombs across Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon regions, learning about their history and significance.

Beginning with the launching ceremony at Donggureung, the team will tour Seolleung and Jeongneung, Jangneung in Yeongwol, Taereung and Gangneung, Paju Samneung, Seoonreung, and Hongneung and Yureung, among others. Participants will also act as "K-Royal Tomb Creators," producing photo and video content to share on social media.

The Royal Palaces and Tombs Center is accepting online applications for participants until May 10. After document screening and in-person interviews, the final list of successful candidates will be announced on May 27. Participants will receive activity kits, as well as support for accommodation, transportation, and meals. Upon completion, they will be awarded both a certificate of completion and a volunteer confirmation letter.

Now in its seventh year, the World Heritage Chosun Royal Tomb Festival will begin with an opening ceremony on October 16, followed by festivities from October 17 to 25.
