The Jeonju Cultural Heritage Foundation (Representative Director Choi Rak-gi) is operating the cultural journey program 'Nationwide Paldo Hanji Journey' for Jeonju citizens to directly experience the history and value of traditional hanji.

This program, organized by the Jeonju Millennium Hanji Museum, is a series of educational day trips that explore the cultural value and modern usage of hanji, starting with a visit to the Daejeon Municipal Museum in April.

The second round will take place on June 19, departing from Jeonju and visiting Seoul. Participants will first visit the Hanjigahyeon, a hanji culture promotion center established for hanji cultural exchange and support, to view an exhibition introducing traditional hanji workshops and various types of paper. It is an opportunity to appreciate the artistic and practical value of hanji.

Next, they will visit the Seoul Museum of Craft Art, the first public craft museum in Korea, to admire traditional crafts and hanji artifacts, gaining a deeper understanding of hanji's cultural significance.

Applications for participation in this journey can be made through the Jeonju Millennium Hanji Museum website (jmhm.kr), with a participation fee of 20,000 won per person, including transportation and admission fees. For more information, contact the Jeonju Millennium Hanji Museum at 063-281-1635.

Choi Rak-gi, the representative director of the Jeonju Cultural Heritage Foundation, stated, "Hanji is a precious cultural asset that embodies the identity of Jeonju," and expressed hope that "through this Hanji journey, citizens will have the opportunity to directly see and feel the history and value of hanji, experiencing traditional culture more closely in their daily lives."

The foundation aims to expand exploration of hanji culture, where tradition and modernity coexist, through this 'Nationwide Paldo Hanji Journey,' contributing to increasing citizens' understanding and interest in hanji.
