At the festival sites, the city distributed promotional materials containing information about Wansan Bunker’s location, features, history, and discount events, and carried out a variety of promotional activities targeting festival visitors.

The city also plans to continue its promotional campaign at major May festivals in Jeonju, including the 'Jeonju International Picture Book Fair' held from May 29 to June 1, and 'Jeonju Dano' taking place on May 31 and June 1.

A city official stated, "We expect that this on-site festival promotion will help widely publicize Wansan Bunker to many citizens and tourists," adding, "We will continue to carry out promotional activities in connection with various festivals and events in Jeonju in the future."

Meanwhile, Wansan Bunker was originally constructed in 1973 as an administrative wartime shelter and lost its function in 2006. Jeonju City has since transformed the abandoned air-raid shelter into a cultural tourism facility utilizing media art. Since its opening on February 5, it has been attracting attention as a unique tourist destination among Jeonju citizens and visitors.
