남원 춘향제 어린이날 프로그램 ‘방자챌린지’ 성황

During the 96th Chunhyang Festival, a participatory program called the "Bangja Challenge" was planned to coincide with Children's Day and took place on the main street of the festival and the street play stage, garnering positive responses from citizens and tourists.

The newly introduced "Bangja Challenge" this year is an experiential program that reinterprets the character of 'Bangja,' a supporting character in the Chunhyangjeon, in a modern way. It drew attention for expanding the festival narrative centered around Chunhyang and Mongryong to include supporting characters.

During the event, activities such as the "Bangja Sock! Kuri Challenge," where two people throw shoes into a sock, and the "Bangja Pull-up Challenge," combining Bangja's strong physicality with exercise elements, were held. With simple rules and playful settings, participation from children, youth, and families of tourists continued.

Especially on Children's Day, children who visited the festival actively participated, experiencing the world of Chunhyangjeon through play. This program was evaluated as showing a shift from a "watching festival" to a "participatory festival," in line with the direction of the 96th Chunhyang Festival.

An official from Namwon City stated, "The Bangja Challenge is a program designed for families and citizens to laugh and enjoy together," adding, "We will continue to expand Namwon Chunhyang Festival's unique content by modernizing various stories from Chunhyangjeon."

Meanwhile, the 96th Chunhyang Festival, themed "Chunhyang's Charm, Enchanting the World," will continue until the 6th with various programs including performances, experiences, exhibitions, food, and night tours at Gwanghanruwon and Yeocheonbyeon.
