The Daejeon Metropolitan Government will host the "2025 Daejeon Content Fair" from September 13 to 14 at Exhibition Hall 2 of the Daejeon Convention Center. The event is organized by Daejeon City and co-hosted by the Daejeon Tourism Organization and the Daejeon Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency.

Now in its fourth year, the Daejeon Content Fair has established itself as a leading event encompassing the latest content industries such as characters, games, and licensing. This year, 80 companies will participate, operating more than 200 booths.

During the event, a variety of stages and experience zones will be available, including an e-sports match featuring professional StarCraft gamers, a national cosplay runway, a goods market and showroom for Kkumdori, Daejeon's signature character, a virtual screening in collaboration with Stellive, and a B2B business consultation zone.

There will also be a board game experience zone for families, an anime DJ party based on animation music, and a unique Itasha car exhibition, offering a wide range of programs for all ages to enjoy.

This year, in particular, a new exhibition will feature goods and collaboration products based on the "Kkumssi Family" characters.

Lee Jangwoo, Mayor of Daejeon, stated, "The Daejeon Content Fair is a festival where content companies, creators, and fans come together, and it is growing into a representative event that encompasses both industrial and popular appeal. Through this event, we aim to establish Daejeon as a central hub for K-Content."
