Right now, a cheerful sports day is underway using sea salt from Jeollanam-do.

The children are tall and moving salt hard to match the weight of 1.5 kilograms.

Next, there will be a hula hoop and an iron bar game played with salt.

Citizens are having a great time enjoying sports day and making character gimbap.

Then let's listen to the stories of citizens who enjoy the festival.

[Kim Kyung-min / Amsa-dong, Seoul: We're making gimbap in the event zone. I'm so happy that it came out so pretty. I made it thinking of the children and I can't wait to give it to them. The weather is nice and it's so nice..]

This festival, which was held for the first time this year, was held to promote the excellence of Jeollanam-do seaweed and various gimbap using marine products in Jeollanam-do worldwide.

You can find everything from special gimbap in Jeollanam-do, such as mugwort gimbap and abalone gimbap, to famous gimbap from all over the country.

On top of that, you can make your own customized kimbap using Jeollanam-do specialties such as iron seaweed, tote, and salted fish, as well as a kimbap competition was held.

In addition, you can learn the production process of laver that is delivered to our table and experience making laver in the traditional way.

At the Gimbap Art Experience Center, you can also enjoy beautiful Gimbap such as art works.

In a little while, there will be a talk show on the theme of gimbap.

A famous gimbap creator's round of gimbap and a foreign chef's story of Jeollanam-do seafood are followed.

In addition, a salt fair using sea salt from Jeollanam-do is also held, so you can experience various health experiences such as sea salt foot baths and saunas.

There will also be a flea market involving small business owners in Jeollanam-do and an unusual auction show where you can purchase seafood at a low price.

The festival will run until tomorrow.

It would be nice to have a happy weekend with food that is leading the globalization of Korean food.
