Paradise City (PARADISE CITY) on Yeongjongdo Island, Incheon, is holding the "Extraordinary (Tiger) Festival" for the upcoming Lunar New Year, offering the whole family a chance to experience a variety of enjoyable activities.
This event, running from the 28th through the 20th of next month, will be held at the Paradise City Plaza Square, decorated as a "Paradise House." A wide range of programs has been prepared to suit different tastes, from an exhibition of works by a world-renowned Korean painter to traditional Korean music performances, folk game experiences, and prize events.
First, as the main program of the festival, a special exhibition by globally recognized Korean painter Kim Hyun Jung has been arranged. The exhibition design for this special exhibition was directed by artist Shin Min-su, who served as exhibition director, and about 30 pieces from Kim Hyun Jung's signature "Naesoong" series will be displayed. This series, themed around women in hanbok going about their daily lives, expresses the interests of contemporary people in a trendy and distinctive way, and is much loved both in Korea and abroad.
Exciting folk game programs are also planned. Visitors can enjoy a variety of games with their whole family and create special memories, including DIY ttakjichigi, neol-twigi, jegichagi, and large-scale yutnori. The folk game experiences will run for three days, from the 30th through the 1st of next month.
A customer participation event open to all visitors will also be held. Those who apply via QR code authentication will be entered into a drawing for prizes including passes to the premium healing spa "Cimer" and the indoor theme park "Wonderbox."
Other special events to make the Lunar New Year holiday even more festive have also been prepared without exception, including a gift event for visitors born in the Year of the Tiger (1/30–2/1) and a fusion gugak performance for the holiday (2/1).
