'Bonorak,' which has just opened, is a space where local youths can freely study, play, or relax. The city has been establishing youth free spaces, focusing on areas with a high concentration of schools within the jurisdiction.
Reflecting citizens' opinions, the city invested a total of 370 million won to create a 153-square-meter space on the second floor of a building located at 128 Bono-ro, Sangnok-gu, an area densely populated with schools and residential complexes. The name 'Bonorak' conveys the meaning 'Watching the free youth (樂), a youth space to enjoy in Bono.'
Incorporating suggestions made directly by young people, the space is equipped with a high-definition beam screen in the multi-zone for movie viewing. There are also a book step, cafeteria, and karaoke room, allowing for a seamless blend of study, relaxation, and play.
'Bonorak' will temporarily operate from Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. It will be closed on Mondays and national holidays.
Lee Mingun, Mayor of Ansan, stated, "We will continue to prioritize the opinions of young people and pursue youth space policies tailored to the characteristics of the local community."
