Singer Nam Ilhae Celebration Performance
On the 23rd, Jung-gu, Daegu will hold the '10th Red Shoes Story Festival' in the Handmade Shoes Alley of Hyangchon-dong.
This festival, held to promote the excellence of Daegu handmade shoes, will feature various attractions and entertainment such as a congratulatory performance by singer Nam Ilhae, a song contest, popera ensemble, acoustic guitar performance, luxury handmade shoe auction, pet food sharing event, handicraft experience, personal footprinting, and a four-cut photo zone.
Ryu Gyuha, head of Daegu Jung-gu Office, visited 'Pyeonagio' (CEO Woo Jongpil, '4th Handmade Shoes Master'), located in the Handmade Shoes Alley, one of Jung-gu's famous alleys, to personally order shoes and take the lead in revitalizing the declining handmade shoes alley by arranging a meeting to listen to the opinions of nearby merchants.
He also plans to listen to various ideas such as sales using online platforms, expansion of parking lots, plans to revitalize the alley with MZ generation sensibility, and proposals for handmade shoes festival programs.
Ryu Gyuha, head of Jung-gu Office, said, "I ordered a pair of handmade shoes with love for handmade shoes in celebration of Chuseok," and added, "I will do my best to help revitalize the alley through the Red Shoes Story Festival and to revitalize the famous alleys including the Handmade Shoes Alley."
Ryu Gyuha, Mayor of Daegu Jung-gu, is having shoes custom-made at the store 'Pyeonajio' in the Handmade Shoes Alley.
The Handmade Shoes Alley in Hyangchon-dong, Daegu, is a 300-meter street connecting Jungang-ro and Jongno from east to west. Since the 1970s, handmade shoe-related businesses began to gather here, and by the 1990s, it took on its current form. This alley houses about 60 businesses including shoe repair shops, raw material and parts suppliers, shoe retail stores, shoe design, and cutting companies.
