This will be followed by a performance titled "National Heritage Cultural Festival" expressing the desire to host the Jeonju Olympics.

At Jeonlagamyeong, a witty experiential program combining human cultural heritage and Olympic events called "Birth of Jeonla Observer" will be presented. Additionally, there will be a "National Heritage Youth Flea Market" organized by young artists, and a camping experience called "National Heritage 1 Night 2 Days" spent in traditional spaces.

In front of the Eojin Museum, a concert titled "Night Fortress Tour of the Royal Palace of Baekje" will shed light on the history and culture of the later Baekje period, while a stamp tour called "In Search of Lost Baekje" will be conducted in various locations. At Jeonju Hyanggyo, a unique experiential play called "Hyanggyo Ghost Story" will be performed with courtiers, and at Pungnammun Gate, a special stage combining traditional music and night views called "Unexpected Korean Music" will greet citizens and tourists.
