SEOUL, June 14 (Yonhap) -- "2022 Baekje Eoulmadang," a representative regular cultural tourism program in Gongju, South Chungcheong province, opens on the 18th.

Baekje Eoulmadang, which marks its 7th anniversary this year, will be held twice every Saturday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. until October 15th at the tomb of King Muryeong and Wangneungwon (royal mausoleum), both of which are registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

However, it will be closed from mid-July to the end of August, during the hot season.

This year, at Baekje Eoulmadang, a creative performance will be held on the subject of King Muryeong, who overcame the chaos 1,500 years ago and declared a powerful nation again.

Skilled professional actors will be providing high-quality performances to the audience.

As a participation event, a photo card with a photo of the audience with the performing actor will be given, and a lottery event using social media hashtags will also be held.

After the performance, a cultural heritage commentator will explain the history of the tomb of King Muryeong and Wangneungwon in a way that is easy to understand.

"In preparation for next year's Daebaekjejeon, we plan to provide historical and cultural contents with great quality this year," Lee Cheol-won, the director of the Tourism Division said. “With a program that is worthy of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we will make the citizens proud and provide a variety of attractions to the tourists.”
