Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that, together with the Busan Tourism Organization (President Lee Jeong-sil), it will operate the “Kungya’s Yongdusan Snack Bar Pop-up” as part of the “Starry Sea Busan Night Pop-up Season 3” (hereinafter “the pop-up”) from October 15 to 26 at Yongdusan Park.

The “Starry Sea Busan Night Pop-up” is one of the signature contents of the city’s initiative to develop specialized nighttime tourism. The previous events — Season 1 “Space Dust Counseling Pop-up” and Season 2 “Annoying Kim Yul’s Daily Life Pop-up” — provided domestic and international tourists with unique entertainment and memorable experiences.

This year’s “Kungya’s Yongdusan Snack Bar Pop-up” was organized in collaboration with Netmarble’s popular game Kungya Restaurantz as an experiential nighttime tourism program. The venue will be designed around a retro-style snack bar concept inspired by Busan’s beloved snack foods.

The event will be open daily from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., and admission is free for everyone.

The site will feature several themed zones: a “Retro Snack Bar Experience Zone,” a “Special Fan Merchandise Zone,” a “Giant Character Photo Zone,” and a “Flea Market Zone,” offering a variety of entertaining experiences.

Visitors can enjoy games and photo opportunities inspired by Busan-style snacks in the “Retro Snack Bar Experience Zone,” purchase standard and limited-edition “Kungya Restaurantz” fan merchandise in the “Special Fan Merchandise Zone,” take photos with a large Onion Kungya character in the “Photo Zone,” and explore diverse local products offered by small business owners in the “Flea Market Zone.”

In addition, various on-site events will enhance the experience for both domestic and international visitors to Yongdusan Park. These include giveaways for participants in the snack bar experience zone, a daily limited “Onion Kungya Balloon” for visitors who follow the event’s social media account, a “Busan-Themed Container Box” for purchases exceeding a set amount, traditional Korean game experiences, a “Four-Cut Photo Session with Boogi” for those who complete a satisfaction survey, and an ESG activity offering “Boogi Recycled Keyrings.”

In preparation for the influx of 3 million foreign tourists, Busan Metropolitan City has also produced promotional materials in English, Chinese, and Japanese, in addition to Korean, ensuring that international visitors can fully enjoy the event at one of the city’s most iconic tourist destinations, Yongdusan Park.

The nostalgic retro snack bar experience with Kungya characters is expected to captivate visitors and make Busan’s autumn nights even more memorable.

Shin In-suk, Director of the Tourism MICE Industry Division, said, “Autumn is the perfect season for travel, and we hope visitors will fully experience Busan’s charm through diverse experiences, local food, and entertainment,” adding, “We will continue to develop engaging content that makes tourists want to return to Busan.”
