Jangan-gu Yulcheon-dong Car-Free Street Festival Concludes Successfully

On the 7th, Yulcheon-dong in Jangan-gu (Head of Dong Kim Hyun-gwang) held a "Park Day Festival" on the "Bambat Cultural Street," previously crowded with double-parked vehicles and traffic, to underscore that roads belong to people.

The event operated a car-free street where local residents and Sungkyunkwan University students had previously experienced difficulties with pedestrian movement due to vehicle congestion. Various cultural programs, exhibitions, and experience booths were set up, including a local merchants' food market, street tours, an invited contemporary art exhibition, nostalgic Korean hopscotch games, chalk art, large chess sets, and a youth flea market.

Notably, at the Yulcheon-dong Community Center Cultural Salon, a theatrical performance titled "Garbage Scandal Incident" by the citizen theater group "Yul" was staged, solidifying its position as a genuine cultural street.

The event, celebrating Sungkyunkwan University's opening of its walls and landscape agreements, was attended by Mayor Yeom Tae-young, Provincial Councilor Kim Ju-sung, City Councilors Kang Jang-bong, Yeom Sang-hun, and Yu Chul-su, Jangan-gu District Chief Hong Sung-gwan, Professor Shin Jung-jin of Sungkyunkwan University, and numerous residents and students.

Yeom Un-young, chairman of the Bambat Cultural Street Promotion Committee, said, "For this place to become a premier destination nationwide, voluntary participation from merchants and development of distinctive flavors and aesthetics are urgent," urging continued support and cooperation.
