Introduction of the project's dedicated host
Producer Hong Su-jin of Gokseong, who is directly in charge of this project, worked as a tourism Dure PD in Gokseong-gun for about 5 years from 2014 to 2018. The PD, who is from Busan, settled in Gokseong after falling in love with the 'charm of Gokseong' and the charm of 'life as a member of the village', and later began working as a tourism Dure PD to further promote the local charm. Among the various PD activities, the ‘Resident Travel Agency’ created with Gokseong residents was the representative activity, and through this, many experimental and unique tourism programs and festivals that only residents know about have been carried out. After working as a tourism Dure PD, he is currently carrying out a wider range of activities centered around Gokseong and Jeollanam-do as a regional tourism expert.
If you want to come up with an idea with local color and realize it, try it. We are waiting for a planner who will unfold his own idea using Gokseong, where various projects have been carried out, as a stage.
