(Daily Daegu Gyeongbuk News = Reporter Hwang Ji-hyeon) In May 2025, all youth in Korea will gather in Andong.
Andong City hosted the Korea Youth Expo, the largest youth festival in Korea. The Korea Youth Expo, co-hosted by Andong City, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, and Gyeongsangbuk-do, is scheduled to be held for three days at the Andong International Convention Center in May next year.
The Korea Youth Expo, which started in 2005 and will celebrate its 21st anniversary next year, is a participatory and experiential fair where you can meet youth-related content from all over the country in one place. Organizations from various fields, including companies, public institutions, and youth facilities, will gather to operate about 200 booths covering all youth-related fields.
In addition, we are preparing various experience programs linked to local tourism resources, such as ▲touring Andong famous sites in literary works, ▲outdoor escape room at independence movement historical sites, ▲Korean culture theme park experience, and ▲Confucian culture museum experience.
The city is accelerating full-scale preparations by forming a task force team jointly with related agencies and organizations such as Gyeongbuk Province and the Korea Youth Activity Promotion Agency. In May, we plan to operate a promotional booth for Andong City at the 20th Korea Youth Expo held in Cheonan and engage in advance publicity for a successful expo.
An Andong city official said, “We consider it very meaningful to host a youth fair in Andong, a city where youth are happy,” and added, “We will do our best to prepare to promote to youth the charm of Andong, where the past and the future coexist.” He expressed his determination.
