Let's Play Loudly! … Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center Hosts Janggu Drum Class with Local Residents

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Jeonggwan-eup Administrative Welfare Center in Gijang-gun, Busan, held a Janggu class with local residents at the Jeonggwan-eup Welfare Center over two days on the 18th and 19th as part of a talent donation program.

The Janggu class was organized through the talent donation of the Kungenddak Janggu Academy located in Jeonggwan-eup.

In the Janggu class, participants enjoyed a lively time dancing together with a trot performance using the traditional percussion instrument Janggu and provided the residents of Sambu Village with a hands-on opportunity to experience playing the Janggu.

The talent donation program at the Jeonggwan-eup Welfare Center, which began on the 11th, operates as follows: ▲ Folk performance on the first Tuesday of every month ▲ Janggu class every Tuesday and Wednesday ▲ Barber service on the fourth Tuesday of every month ▲ Laughter exercise class on the fourth Wednesday of every month, and residents of Sambu Village can participate freely.

Kim Jong-cheon, head of Jeonggwan-eup, said, “The residents of Sambu Village have long been excluded from cultural and welfare benefits due to dual regulations such as designation as a water source protection area and development restriction zone,” adding, “We will continuously discover and operate various cultural welfare programs to create a lively village atmosphere.”

The Jeonggwan-eup Welfare Center was selected as a resident wish project for the development restriction zone last year, was built in June this year, and on September 5th, the hot spring bath within the welfare center also opened.
