(Daejeon = Newsis) Reporter Kwak Sang-hoon = Gyeryong City, South Chungcheong Province, announced that 1.1 million visitors visited the 14th Gyeryong-gun Cultural Festival held from the 2nd to the 6th under the theme of ‘Gyeryong, the center of K-military culture and the powerful national defense capital.’
In order to differentiate this year’s military culture festival from past festivals, it will be held simultaneously with KADEX, appoint actor Kim Seung-soo as a public relations ambassador, promote the festival, operate a large-scale use order and four-cut photo zone, establish a Marine Corps physical training experience, zip line, and moon exploration VR experience, and launch ‘Gyeryong’. We have significantly strengthened our programs, including promoting the ‘Citizen’s Day’ event.
A total of 28 programs in 6 fields, including official events, exhibitions, performances, experiences, barracks experience halls, and side events, were held at the Gyeryong Grand Runway, barracks experience hall, barracks experience hall, and Geumam event hall.
The ‘Aerospace Special Hall’ allowed visitors to explore Korea as a space powerhouse, and the ‘Defense Experience Hall’ promoted the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps and provided the fun of challenging the physical limits of Jeon Dong-gun and myself.
Various performances were presented at the road parade, attracting the attention of visitors, including performances by the military bands of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, foreign military bands such as Turkye, Malaysia, and the 8th US Army Military Band in Korea.
The Gyeryongdae compound, which is normally not accessible, was also opened and it was possible to tour it by taking the Yongyongryeong train. The 2-day, 1-night Our Family Military Culture Camp provided an opportunity to realize the importance of family.
It also gained popularity by opening the barracks experience center’s ‘KidZania GO’, a virtual battle simulation and VR experience, and a children’s theme park.
