Busan's Gijang-gun will hold the '2023 Gijang-gun Jekil & Youth Harmony Festival' at Jungang Park in Jeonggwan-eup from 2 PM on the 18th.
This event is a youth cultural festival hosted by Gijang-gun and organized by the Youth Harmony Festival Promotion Committee.
This event is inspired by the musical 'Jekil & Hyde' and reflects the reality where 'Jekil,' who must fulfill duties as a student, and 'Hyde,' who pursues freedom, coexist.
It provides youth with opportunities to explore careers and jobs while offering a space of freedom and liberation where they can freely express their hidden talents and find their dreams and passion.
From 2 to 5 PM, the first part of the event includes programs such as ▲'Wake Up the Sleeping Brain' Speech Stage and ▲'Show Me My Talent' My Own Specialty, and from 6 to 8 PM, the second part features youth club performances and invited singer performances.
Also, from 2 to 5 PM, various booths will be operated to support youth career exploration and healthy play culture, including ▲Career and Job Exploration Experience Booth ▲Enjoyable Play Culture Experience Booth ▲Wish Tree Booth ▲Chroma Key Experience Booth.
Gijang-gun explained that this event is a demand-centered festival where local youth take the lead in planning and overall execution.
Since June, opinions from the Gijang-gun Youth Operation Committee and Youth Participation Committee were collected during the event theme selection stage, and the theme was finally decided by youth voting.
Since September, about 200 youths who will directly plan and operate the 'Jekil & Youth' Harmony Festival have been recruited, and they have been preparing the entire event, including MC hosting, booth operation, and stage performances.
A representative of the Youth Harmony Festival Promotion Committee said, "For the past three months, youths and everyone who loves youth have prepared the event together," and added, "We hope many people will take interest in this participatory youth festival that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy."
