Lee Seung-hyu Jaewangungi Cultural Festival is a festival held to commemorate a literary civil servant during the late Goryeo Dynasty named Lee Seung-hyu who has enlightened us of the fact that we are a strong, autonomous nation and a nation consisting of a single pure race through Jaewangungi which is regarded as one of the greatest Korean epics. The festival holds various colorful events such as “Jaewangungi Rubbing”, “Cultural Photo Exhibition”, “Mt. Swinumsan Hiking” and “Dongandaejae Memorial Service”. It is an educational and meaningful festival that can remind youth and their parents of Lee Seung-hyu’s philosophy and ideas on the Korean nation.
