2026 Hangul Culture Special Exhibition 〈Sejong and Nam June Paik〉
2026 한글문화특별기획전 〈세종과 남준〉
This exhibition reunites two visionaries separated by five centuries: King Sejong, creator of the hangeul alphabet, and Nam June Paik, pioneering video artist. The show explores how both revolutionized communication through creative innovation. Open October 9–November 8 at the Biennale Exhibition Hall, it offers free docent-led tours Tuesday–Sunday at 2pm and 4pm. Weekend programming includes « I Am a Hangeul Toy Artist, » an upcycling workshop where visitors disassemble and reassemble toys to spark creativity. An opening ceremony and exhibition tour launch the show on October 9.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site
- 1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
- 2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
- 3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.
- 4
Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.
💡 Good to know
When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
