This project leverages Jongno's unique characteristics?having the highest number of public cultural facilities and cultural assets (22.8% of the total) among Seoul's 25 districts?to focus on providing real-time, integrated information about cultural events throughout Jongno, including performances, exhibitions, and festivals.

The platform will be developed as a responsive website featuring location-based guide maps, artist information sharing, and personalized visitor services such as public parking information. It will also offer an online space for artists to promote their work and collaborate.

In addition, the platform will be linked with the Seoul Metropolitan Government's 'Seoul Culture Portal,' as well as Jongno District's 'Jongnoen Da Itda' and 'JongnoPick' apps, to enhance effectiveness and establish itself as a key cultural ecosystem platform widely used by citizens, artists, and tourists alike.

Jongno District stated, "We will strive to provide innovative services that can be experienced by both artists and citizens, centering on the New Media Platform for Culture and Arts Performances that connects Jongno's abundant cultural resources into one."
