Regional cultural and economic events in South Korea

Overview

Regional cultural and economic activities in South Korea have focused on community engagement and local development through various events.

In late August, regional institutions hosted family-oriented musical performances. In Boeun, the Boeun County Library presented ‘The Monster That Eats Bad Words’ to promote positive language and reading. In Yeongdeok, the musical ‘Super Turtle, Super Rabbit’ attracted approximately 1,000 spectators, serving as a driver for local tourism by bringing in visitors from outside the county.

By mid-September, the focus expanded to larger-scale festivals and expos. The 9th Jeonju Reading Festival, themed ‘Run, Book,’ scheduled 73 programs including author lectures and book markets. Concurrently, the 2026 Jeonnam-Gwangju Social Solidarity Economy Expo was set to showcase social solidarity economy enterprises through sales, experience zones, and forums regarding regional strategies.
