[iNews24 Reporter Kim Sang-jin] On April 1, Jangseong County in South Jeolla Province announced that Hong Gil-dong Theme Park has been selected in a public competition for the second year in a row\u2014giving the park a real chance for a makeover.<\/p>\n

The county says it recently won the Jeollanam-do Aging Tourist Sites Revitalization grant, securing 1 billion KRW (about $660,000). Officials plan to use the funds to remodel the park\u2019s exhibition halls, adding up-to-date features such as a media wall and interactive touch panels.<\/p>\n

The park will also roll out hands-on outdoor programming\u2014think escape rooms, treasure hunts, and other interactive experiences that take advantage of its wide open spaces.<\/p>\n

Last year the county won the same grant and secured 1.2 billion KRW (about $792,000). Officials are removing the central plaza fountain to create a splash area slated to open this summer, and designers have leaned into the park\u2019s identity by incorporating a traditional fortress-wall motif.<\/p>\n

Hong Gil-dong Theme Park centers on Hong Gil-dong\u2014the protagonist of Heo Gyun\u2019s novel Tale of Hong Gil-dong and a figure rooted in history. With a restored birthplace, a mountain-village experience area, and a traditional archery range, it\u2019s an ideal spot for family stays.<\/p>\n

Sim Woo-jeong, deputy county mayor of Jangseong, said the back-to-back selections for the Jeonnam revitalization project have helped the county rediscover the park\u2019s value as a tourism asset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
