A reenactment of the traditional Military Service Examination (Mugwa) from the Joseon Dynasty, commemorating the Battle of Namwon Fortress during the Japanese Invasions of Korea in 1597, will be held at the Maninntong in Namwon.

The National Heritage Administration's Maninntong Management Office will host the "Manin Mugwa Byulsi" event from October 9 to 10. This event will be held in conjunction with Namwon City's autumn festival, "Heungbuje Festival."

Academic and performance programs are also scheduled. Jang Dongwoo, operator of the YouTube channel "Trial Version Archeology," will give a special lecture on Joseon-era military science, and a performance team will demonstrate traditional martial arts, reenacting the actual use of historical weaponry.

There will also be spaces for visitor participation. During the event, guests can take part in archery, artillery, fencing, military attire try-ons, making model arrows, and making watercolor postcards.

The program additionally includes the "Gapsa Chwijae"—an excellence test for military specialties—the "Maninntong History Quiz" based on military book readings, and a "Manin Ahoe," an art exhibition.
