The media large drum performance is a percussion show where drums are played with videos projected on a large screen in the background.
In sync with the video, the performance expressed the administrative goals of the 8th elected Jangseong County administration, ‘Harmony and Change, Happy Jangseong Residents,’ and the county’s administrative policies.
Governor Kim Han-jong said, “I feel deeply moved that the commemorative ceremonies, which had been scaled down due to COVID-19, can be held together with residents and hometown visitors starting this year.”
He added, “Jangseong belongs to its residents, is operated by its residents, and if the governor and public officials work for the residents, we will be able to overcome the crisis of local extinction and forever continue the history and tradition of Munbulyeo Jangseong.”
He also stated, “We will never lose our original intention, serve the residents as the owners, achieve new changes and harmony, and create a Jangseong where residents are happy.”
