"Bulgeum Bulpa" (Burning Friday Bulgogi Party), one of the signature events of Gangjin County in South Jeolla Province, the birthplace of half-price travel, has decided to take a hiatus. The event was originally scheduled to run from the 5th to the 20th, but part of the schedule has been adjusted due to the busy farming season.
"Due to difficulties in operating bulgogi sales during the busy farming season, we decided to close from the 5th to the 13th," an official from Gangjin County said. "We plan to focus all our efforts on preparing the 'Bulgeum Bulpa Ending Event' held on the 19th and 20th to cap off the event."
This ending event will feature a "Half-Price Bulgogi Event" with the region's signature menu, and will run visitor participation programs and on-site events such as treasure hunts and random games, creating an atmosphere where families and local residents can enjoy themselves together.
In addition, a program offering free tastings of Hamel Village beer will be arranged, and resident self-governance performances, local singer performances, and an EDM DJ stage will be presented in succession, along with a special guest singer performance, adding to the enjoyment of the early summer night.
The programs were also designed to provide county residents with a brief moment of cool rest and recharge during the busy farming season.
