Jeonggwan Museum Hosts Special Chuseok Event “Full Moon Playground”… A Fusion of Traditional Culture and K-Content

내용

Jeonggwan Museum (hereinafter referred to as the Museum) announced that it will hold a special cultural event titled “Full Moon Playground” from October 4 to October 7 in celebration of the upcoming Chuseok holiday.

Since its opening, Jeonggwan Museum has organized and operated hands-on programs during holiday periods each year, offering experiences that families across generations can enjoy together.

This year’s “Full Moon Playground” has been prepared under the theme of “A Cultural Festival Sharing the Joy of a Bountiful Chuseok.” Designed for all ages—from children to adults—it features experiential, exhibition, and play programs that make it easy and enjoyable to experience the value of traditional culture.

The main programs include ▲Creating traditional gat keyrings inspired by the full moon ▲Full Moon “Lion Boys” ▲Full Moon Friends photo zone (including homage costumes from “K-Demon Hunters”) ▲Traditional folk games, and more.

The “Traditional Gat Keyring with the Full Moon” program allows participants to solve hidden missions inside the exhibition hall to receive crafting materials, which they can then use to create their own traditional gat keyring. Through this activity, participants will learn about the significance of the traditional hat, the “gat,” in Korean attire and reinterpret it with a modern twist as a keepsake.

The “Full Moon Lion Boys” program is an adaptation of the Museum’s signature educational program, Samguk Era Wardrobe, reimagined as an homage to the K-pop group Demon Hunters’ “Lion Boys.” In this activity, children and guardians work together as a team to create traditional gat and clothing for Brickbear figures. The program emphasizes not only crafting but also understanding the meaning of traditional attire and creatively reconstructing it.

The “Folk Games Plaza” invites visitors to experience traditional games such as yutnori (board game with sticks), tuho (arrow throwing), and jegichagi (Korean shuttlecock kicking). These games evoke nostalgia for adults while offering children a new experience, enabling all generations to celebrate the spirit of the holiday and strengthen family bonds.

Additionally, a photo zone (Full Moon Friends Photo Zone) will be set up in the Museum lobby, where visitors can wear Lion Boys costumes and props to take commemorative photos.

Participation in this special Chuseok event is free of charge. For detailed schedules and participation methods, please visit the Museum website at museum.busan.go.kr/jeonggwan.

Yu Hyun, Director of Jeonggwan Museum, stated, “The ‘Full Moon Playground’ combines traditional cultural experiences with family-participation programs to share the joy of the holiday. We hope it will provide residents and visitors alike with a natural encounter with traditional culture and an opportunity to enhance intergenerational communication.”
