About the Festival
Hongseong is the birthplace of many historical figures: General Choe Yeong, a famous general of the late Goryeo Dynasty who maintained his loyalty until the end; Seong Sammun, who gained renown across the land for his unwavering integrity in defiance of injustice; Buddhist Monk Han Yong-un, one of the 33 national representatives who resisted Japanese imperialism; General Kim Jwa-jin, who brought news of victory in the Battle of Cheongsalli; Han Seong-jun, a master of Joseon dance and the originator of Korean traditional dance; and Lee Ung-no, a contemporary artist more famous abroad. In Hongseong, the hometown of historical figures, various programs such as experiences, performances, and exhibitions are held annually, selecting key figures through different themes and based on their achievements and anecdotes. It is the nation's best edutainment festival where you can enjoy and learn about the historical figures produced by Hongseong on-site. If you come to the Hongseong Festival of Historical Figures, which is held alongside Children's Day events, you will have plenty to enjoy.
