According to the city on the 14th, this experience event, themed 'I Am Also a Drama Protagonist,' is an experiential tourism program that collaborates with 'Gwanghallu Garden Lounge by Hwain Hall.' It adds drama hanbok cosplay and styling experiences to the traditional cultural content of Gwanghallu Garden, offering a unique and immersive experience.

The main program consists of the 'Three GO!' event, where participants 'wear (GO)' drama hanbok, 'take (GO)' instant photos, and 'upload (GO)' the photos to the Hwain Hall Instagram account. A live vote on the posts will be held on site, with popularity awards given to the winners.

The top three participants in the final vote will each receive a Myeongjigak accommodation voucher worth 220,000 won.

In particular, this experience is organized as a cosplay event where participants can directly try on hanbok and attire by social status, as worn by main characters in popular historical dramas filmed at Gwanghallu Garden, such as 'The Red Sleeve,' 'Mr. Queen,' 'Under the Queen's Umbrella,' 'Jeong Nyeoni,' 'Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung,' and 'Check-in Hanyang.' A hanbok expert will also participate to help recreate drama-style hair and accessories.

The city expects that this event will offer visitors to Gwanghallu Garden the unique experience of becoming drama protagonists and will effectively promote Namwon's traditional culture and tourism resources.

Oh Miseon, Head of Tourism Facilities, said, "Through the special experience of becoming the main character of a famous drama scene at Gwanghallu Garden, we can not only popularize hanbok culture but also contribute to revitalizing tourism in Namwon. We ask for the interest and participation of many citizens and tourists."
