Gijang County Expands Engagement with Tourists
Through Interactive Events

To mark the 30th Gijang Anchovy Festival, Gijang County is launching visitor participation events to boost the festive atmosphere.


On April 22, Gijang County (County Governor Jeong Jongbok) announced it will host a "Heart Pose Photo Event" during the festival, which will take place from April 24 to April 26 around Daebyeon Port, in order to increase visitor engagement.


The event aims to offer tourists a more enjoyable on-site experience and to help them connect more closely with county news through Gijang County's official SNS channels.


Participation is simple. At the festival site, take a photo in a heart pose, follow at least one of Gijang County’s official SNS channels (Facebook, Instagram, Blog, YouTube, or KakaoTalk Channel), and submit your photo using the provided QR code. Then, leave a "Participation Complete" comment on the event post to finalize your entry.


Gijang County plans to award a mobile gift certificate worth 20,000 won from Olive Young to a total of 10 participants selected by lottery. The winners will be announced on the official SNS channels on April 29.


Jeong Jongbok, Governor of Gijang County, said, "We hope that visitors coming to enjoy the spring specialty anchovies and the atmosphere of the Gijang sea will create even more special memories through this event," adding, "We will continue to enhance communication with residents and tourists through various channels."



The Gijang Anchovy Festival is a signature food festival of the region, attracting many visitors from across the country every year. This year, a variety of programs are planned, including surprise seafood auctions and free tastings of anchovy sashimi.
