An experiential Hallyu program, continuing the "K-Pop Demon Hunters" craze, will be held on Haengnidan-gil in Suwon Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.
The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization announced on the 17th that it will operate a special nighttime tourism program, "Night Theater of Princesses," on Haengnidan-gil in Suwon Hwaseong from the 27th of this month until the 31st of next month.
This program is designed around the concept of becoming a princess from the Joseon Dynasty, wearing hanbok, and escaping from the palace. It was planned as a nighttime-specialized tourism content by the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization and the local merchants' association, reflecting the increased demand for Hallyu experiences following the recent "K-Pop Demon Hunters" movie craze.
What sets it apart is that it goes beyond simply trying on hanbok, combining tradition and trends in an experiential Hallyu tourism content that involves escaping from the palace.
Main activities include: ▲ styling experiences using hanbok, cheongsachorong (traditional lanterns), and gat (traditional hats); ▲ taking night view certification shots at Hwaseong Haenggung and Banghwasuryujeong Pavilion; and ▲ craft workshops.
