The ‘Youth Day Creator Festival,’ featuring 70 top domestic creator teams including Bomeulseom, Jjaltoon, Wonjeongman, Sso Daejang, Kim In-ho, and Judungi Broadcasting, is planned as content where fans can directly communicate with creators through fan meetings and fan sign events.

This festival was prepared to foster the growth of the one-person new media industry and build a support network, with Sandbox joining as a co-host to add significance.

Jung Hyun-gon, director of Cheongnyeon-gwa Mirae, said, “The 6th Youth Day Festival will present a new vision of Korea as envisioned by young people,” adding, “We will provide infinite fun and emotion for youth, who are the driving force to realize this vision.”
