Jeongeup City is actively conducting excavations on the Eunseon-ri and Dogye-ri ancient tombs, accelerating the restoration of the Baekje Mahan cultural region and the exploration of local historical assets.

The "Jeongeup Eunseon-ri and Dogye-ri ancient tombs" are an area spanning approximately 2km in Yeongwon-myeon, with around 270 tombs, among which 56 horizontal stone chamber tombs are densely concentrated. Designated as a national historic site in 2018, from 2022, excavation and research are being carried out in stages under the restoration project of the Cultural Heritage Administration.

So far, 20 new Baekje tombs have been confirmed, and particularly in the 2024 survey, high-end jewelry such as gold beads and gold rings were unearthed, drawing attention from the academic community. These artifacts are evaluated as important items for revealing the governance system and cultural characteristics of the Baekje Woongjin period.

Jeongeup City plans to publicly showcase the excavated artifacts through a special exhibition at the National Jeonju Museum titled "The Rising Land, Mangyeong and Dongjin," starting from June 26.

The city, in collaboration with Jeonju University Museum, aims to complete detailed research by 2026 and establish a comprehensive restoration plan by 2027 to drive restoration projects until 2030. Mayor Lee Hak-soo stated, "We will enhance the status of Jeongeup's ancient history and create an opportunity to leap into a historical and cultural city."
