Music Festival to Be Held at Hanwha Resort Seorak on August 23
Over 10,000 Tourists Visited Last Year
Economic Impact Exceeded 10 Billion Won
Hanwha Hotels & Resorts announced on the 10th that it will hold the music festival 'WATERBOMB SOKCHO 2025' at Hanwha Resort Seorak on August 23.
Waterbomb is a representative summer festival in Korea where attendees can enjoy water play and performances simultaneously. Hanwha Hotels & Resorts has been investing billions of won annually to attract Waterbomb Sokcho with the aim of revitalizing local tourism. Last year, more than 10,000 tourists visited Waterbomb Sokcho. The company explained that this led to the activation of nearby commercial districts and job creation, generating an economic effect of over 10 billion won.
This year, Hanwha General Insurance will serve as the main sponsor. Tickets are priced at 154,000 won, with advance purchases available for 77,000 won. For the convenience of attendees, paid shuttle buses will operate on the day of the event from certain stations such as Seoul Station and Sadang Station. Additionally, products combining Waterbomb tickets with Seorak Waterpia admission and room packages are also being planned.
A representative from Hanwha Hotels & Resorts said, "Waterbomb has a high female audience ratio of about 70%, so we are putting great effort into creating a lineup that targets the 'female heart.' We are also considering expanding new festivals that take synergy with other regions into account, not just Seorak."
