The popular EBS children's program 'Gather Around Ding Dong Dang' has held live broadcasts annually at the Yeongnam Alps Complex Welcome Center since 2018, but was temporarily suspended in 2020 due to COVID-19.

Children will enjoy exciting dance moves and songs with the Lightning Star friends, experience thrilling adventure stories directly delivered by Lightning Man, and create unforgettable memories through interactions with the Lightning Star friends.

The event will be held twice, at 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM, with a total of 4,000 participants allowed?2,000 per session including guardians.

Applicants must be children aged 36 months to 8 years, and each child may be accompanied by only one guardian.
