KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 -- The Korean historic site, Jeolla Gamyoung, which has been restored to its original grandeur, will open on Oct 7.
Entitled ‘Jeolla Gamyoung: A Radiant Flower, A Thousand Years of Fruit’, the ceremony will be attended by a small number of participants to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and live-streamed on YouTube.
According to a statement by Jeonju City, ‘Gamyoung’ referred to a provincial government complex in the Joseon Dynasty while Jeolla is the southwestern province of the country.
The celebration will begin with ‘Seungjeonmu’ (Victory Dance), followed by the unveiling of the signboard of ‘Seonhwadang’, the main building on Jeolla Gamyoung.
Jeonju citizens and residents in North Jeolla Province will deliver a book of their wishes for the future of Jeolla Gamyoung to Jeonju mayor and Jeollabuk-do governor.
A ceremony for the transfer of duties of Jeolla governor will be enacted based on entries written by Jeolla Gov. Lee Seok-pyo in his ‘Honam Diary.’ Honam is another name for Jeolla.
Discussion to restore the ancient government complex began in 2005. The ground was broken for the project in November 2017 after the old Jeollabuk-do government building was demolished.
The first stage, which was completed on Aug 27, focused to find records on the original form of Jeolla Gamyoung. Seven major buildings were restored during this phase.
Jeonju will kick off the second stage of the project shortly after deciding on the plan to develop the west zone of Jeolla Gamyoung. Until then, the zone will remain open to the general public.
