Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon), together with the Korea Asset Management Corporation (hereinafter “KAMCO”), announced that it will hold an opening ceremony for “Daeyeon Dream Nurturing Small Library Deullak Nallak,” a core facility of the 15-Minute City initiative and a community co-prosperity space, today (October 14) at 2:30 p.m. on the 2nd floor of KAMCO’s Shared Housing for Youth (1741-28 Daeyeon-dong, Nam-gu).

The ceremony will be attended by Nam Hee-jin, Director of KAMCO, Kim Gui-ok, Director General of the City’s Youth, Industry, and Academic Affairs Bureau, Oh Eun-taek, Mayor of Nam-gu District, district council members, children, and parents, with around 30 participants in total.

“Daeyeon Dream Nurturing Small Library Deullak Nallak” was created on the 2nd floor of KAMCO’s newly built Shared Housing for Youth following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for regional cooperation between Busan Metropolitan City, Nam-gu District, and KAMCO in March 2022.

In March 2022, KAMCO and Busan Metropolitan City signed an agreement to build the nation’s first shared housing for youth in an innovation city as part of efforts to promote regional coexistence and development. After completion of the housing on September 17, 2025, the second floor was developed into Deullak Nallak, a children’s complex cultural space.

The operation of Deullak Nallak will be managed by Nam-gu District, and this initiative is expected to serve as an exemplary case of mutually beneficial cooperation between public institutions.

Deullak Nallak features a digital content zone utilizing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, an indoor playground for children, and a reading space. It is designed as a family-friendly venue where all generations can freely enjoy various activities and services.

With this opening, there are now a total of 17 Deullak Nallak facilities operating across the city, while 90 additional locations are currently under development and scheduled to open soon.

Kim Gui-ok, Director General of the City’s Youth, Industry, and Academic Affairs Bureau, stated, “Through our collaboration with KAMCO, we have created Deullak Nallak, allowing children to access these facilities closer to home. As a core element of Busan’s 15-Minute City initiative, Deullak Nallak has now also become a symbol of regional coexistence. We will continue to engage with local residents and operate the facility in a way that reflects their voices.”
