With this designation, the exhibition hall has strengthened its position as a specialized museum by adding storage and management functions to its existing exhibition and research roles.

The city plans to register national heritage properties into its management system to ensure stable preservation and, through academic research, exhibitions, educational programs, and lending services, actively share the value of locally excavated heritage with citizens.

On August 11, Yeongcheon City signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with DS Press Co., Ltd. and Simgak Agricultural Corporation for investment in the Kumho General Industrial Complex.

The two promising companies plan to invest a total of 5.2 billion won to expand their production facilities and create 34 new jobs.

By reinvesting in precision metal processing and utilizing the region’s specialty agricultural products for food manufacturing, the revitalization of the Kumho General Industrial Complex and the establishment of a virtuous cycle structure in the local economy are expected to be further strengthened.

Gyeongju City met with Chen Rrbiao, Consul General of China in Busan, to discuss ways to enhance intergovernmental cooperation between Korea and China in the Post-APEC era.

Both sides agreed to share hosting experiences between Gyeongju, the 2025 APEC host city, and Shenzhen, China, the 2026 host city, and to expand practical cooperation in a range of fields, including culture, tourism, the economy, and youth.

The Cheongdo Wooriespirit Culture Foundation successfully concluded its nighttime horror experience “Shindori Gumiho Tale,” held at the Saemaul Movement Memorial Park on August 8 and 9.

With advance reservations selling out quickly, over 300 participants enjoyed interactive storytelling programs such as stamp missions and horror makeup during the event.
