Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Tourism Association announced on November 4 that they will hold the “2026 Jeju Antre Festival - Romantic Jeju” on November 7 and 8 around Jejumok Government Office in Jeju City.

The festival is an interactive cultural tourism event that reinterprets Jeju’s traditional celebration culture, known as “Gamun Janchi,” for modern audiences. Set against the historic Jejumok Government Office, the festival will bring tourists and local residents together for a festive gathering combining traditional weddings, food, and performances.

The festival grounds will feature a space inspired by “Solmun” (a pine-gate entrance), which traditionally welcomed guests to celebrations in Jeju. Visitors can pick up a mission map designed like a wedding invitation, explore the festival grounds, and take part in a range of activities.

Activities include “Neokdungbaegi,” a traditional Jeju yut game; “Love LOOP,” in which participants become game pieces on a life-size board; and surprise missions with a hamjinabi, a traditional wedding attendant. There will also be a traditional wedding photo zone, couple’s bracelet-making, stone-wall mood-light crafting, and fortune-telling in the Jeju dialect.

Visitors can also sample Jeju’s festive foods. “Tamna Dining” will present a culinary program featuring local ingredients and traditional dishes, including skewers made with Jeju horned turban and black pork, Shindari, a traditional fermented drink, and Mandi rice cakes.

The festival will also feature a diverse lineup of performances. On the first day, November 7, Director Kim Jiyoon will host a “Romantic Talk Concert” on dating, love, marriage, and relationships. The opening ceremony will follow, along with a special event inspired by Jeju’s Gamun Janchi and a performance by the band Peppertones.

On November 8, local artists will perform before broadcaster Park Myungsoo takes the stage as “DJ G-PARK” to close the festival. During the event, visitors can also take part in activities open to everyone, including couples, families, and friends.

The festival will also host an appointment ceremony for 10 “2027 Jeju Travel SNS Ambassadors.” The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Tourism Association plans to expand its online promotional activities by working with creators from Jeju and elsewhere to promote the island’s distinctive culture and tourism content.

Kang Donghun, president of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Tourism Association, said, “This event reinterprets the hospitality and sense of community embodied in Jeju’s traditional Gamun Janchi through a modern sensibility. I hope visitors will enjoy Jeju’s culture with their loved ones at Jejumok Government Office and make special memories.”
