내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced its plan to create a large-scale “Deullak Nallak” children’s complex cultural space at a newly selected site in Dongnae-gu in 2025.

On the afternoon of the 26th, the city held the “Busan Metropolitan City Children's Complex Cultural Space Development Committee” meeting at City Hall, where Dongnae-gu was selected as the 2025 project site.

This new Deullak Nallak in Dongnae-gu will be the 107th across the city and the 6th in Dongnae-gu. A previously unused space will be transformed into a complex cultural facility that falls within a 15-minute living zone, where families can come together and enjoy various activities.

This selection aligns with the direction of Deullak Nallak Season 2, which emphasizes the creation of large-scale spaces and the enhancement of infrastructure in areas with a shortage of Deullak Nallak facilities.

The new Deullak Nallak will be located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Dongnae-gu Childcare Support Center (129, Siseullo, Dongnae-gu). A total project cost of KRW 4 billion will be invested, and the facility is expected to open in July 2026.

Following the relocation of a control center, the vacant 4th and 5th floors will be newly developed into a children's media playground. Additionally, the 1st and 2nd floors and part of the 3rd floor will be reorganized into a children's library and various experiential program spaces, creating a new cultural space where children can stay, play, and learn.

Deullak Nallak is a Busan-style children’s complex cultural space, designed to allow children and guardians to safely and freely access books, media, and hands-on content within a 15-minute living zone.

Busan Metropolitan City expects that the newly created Deullak Nallak will not only expand the project equitably across regions but also strengthen its role as a content-focused space that fosters the creativity and sensitivity of the digital generation.

Residents or organizations interested in finding information about nearby Deullak Nallak spaces or participating in programs operated at these sites may visit the integrated platform for Busan Children's Complex Cultural Spaces (busan.go.kr/bschild).

Kim Gwi-ok, Director General of the City’s Youth and Industry-Academia Bureau, stated, “Since this new space is being established in an area that had a relatively low number of facilities compared to its child population, we expect it will serve as a valuable space for learning and experiences for local children.” She added, “We will continue our efforts to develop and effectively operate Deullak Nallak as part of policies that enhance the quality of life and happiness of our citizens, making Busan a city where people would choose to live again.”
