내용

Busan Metropolitan City announced that it will host a variety of cultural events at children’s complex cultural spaces (hereinafter referred to as Deullak Nallak) across the city in celebration of Family Month in May.

The city noted that Deullak Nallak, which welcomed a cumulative total of 2.4 million visitors in 2025, has prepared an even more diverse lineup of events for May, allowing families to create joyful memories together. In particular, the events will be open to all families with preschool and elementary school children, providing opportunities to foster family harmony and communication.

The month-long program will feature a variety of performances, hands-on activities, and events at Deullak Nallak locations throughout the city, offering a unique experience where books, culture, and play come together.

At the Deullak Nallak on the first floor of City Hall, special experiential programs—including a science magic concert, creative activity programs, and a caricature event—will be held starting at 10:00 a.m. on May 2.

At the Busan 119 Safety Experience Center Deullak Nallak, a variety of performances and hands-on programs will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Children’s Day, May 5, in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the center’s opening. These include magic shows, special Children’s Day experiences, and anniversary events.

Additionally, diverse programs will be offered across the city, such as cookie-making experiences and photo sessions with characters from the Educational Broadcasting System (EBS) at the Eulsukdo Deullak Nallak, as well as unique activities like storytelling puzzle art and MBTI keyring-making at the Saemo Deullak Nallak in Yeongdo-gu. Throughout May, Deullak Nallak locations across Busan will host various performances, experiences, and events to provide enjoyable experiences for children.

Detailed information about the events can be found under “Deullak Nallak News” on the official website (www.busan.go.kr/bschild). Participation methods for performance and experiential programs vary by location, including advance reservations and on-site registration, so participants are advised to check the relevant details for each program in advance.

Meanwhile, Deullak Nallak is a family-friendly complex cultural space created by remodeling idle urban spaces, allowing families to enjoy cultural activities close to home. Since the project began in 2021, a total of 110 locations have been established across the city, with 99 currently in operation.

Deullak Nallak offers year-round educational programs, including native English classes for children, creative maker education, physical play, and humanities education. It has also received the grand prize at the “SDG City Awards” hosted by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) as an exemplary case of sustainable urban innovation. It continues to receive positive responses from citizens as a family-friendly space where people can enjoy and experience activities close to home.

Min Soon-gi, Director General of the Future Space Strategy Bureau, stated, “We are pleased to provide opportunities for children and parents to enjoy a variety of cultural experiences together at Deullak Nallak in celebration of Family Month,” adding, “We hope this event will allow children to become more familiar with books and culture in their daily lives and enjoy a happy Family Month.”
