Tightropes, street theater to take over Noryangjin soccer field Oct. 10

On any given weekend, Noryangjin, a riverside neighborhood in southern Seoul, is defined by the bustling energy of the city's premier wholesale seafood market and the quiet intensity of its famous civil service exam prep academies. This month, however, a quiet corner of the area will trade its routine rhythm for high-flying acrobatics and vibrant street theatre. Dongjak District said Thursday that it will host the 2026 Dongjak Circus Day on Oct. 10. Returning for its second year, the free outdoor festival aims to turn ordinary public spaces into dynamic stages under the theme "An Extraordinary Day in Everyday Life." Running from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Noryangjin Soccer Field along the southern bank of the Han River, the day begins with an energetic roaming parade featuring Project Alice and the upbeat brass tunes of jazz band ZIP4. The main stage serve as a bridge between Korea's heritage and modern circus arts. Highlighting the bill is Nam Chang-dong, who offers a contemporary spin on "jultagi," the traditional Korean tightrope walking technique designated as UNESCO Intangible Cultural

Busan hot springs earns national 'spa city' status

Deep beneath the concrete and bustling avenues of Busan, Korea’s second-largest city, natural thermal waters registering a blistering 70.3 degrees Celsius have welled up through granite fissures for nearly fifteen centuries. Local folklore traces the springs back to the Silla Kingdom (57 B.C. — 936 A.D.), when an injured crane was said to have bathed in the steaming pools and flown away fully restored. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety officially recognized that heritage, Thursday, by designating the Dongnae Hot Springs District in Busan as the nation's fourth official "Spa City." The prestigious national status clears the path for municipal leaders to transform the historic bathing quarter from a traditional bathhouse hub into a modern urban wellness destination. Following field inspections and expert evaluations of Dongnae’s redevelopment strategy, federal officials selected the district based on its rare combination of high-temperature mineral waters and exceptional urban accessibility. Located directly along Busan’s major subway and regional rail corridors, Dongnae al

Han River family festival to feature films, jazz, 7,500 books

Seoul will host a family festival along the Han River from beginning Saturday, offering books, music, games and hands-on activities, the city government said Thursday. The 2026 Hangang Family Festival will be held through Oct. 18 at Gwangnaru and Jamwon Han River parks, two of the riverside parks along the Han River, which runs through the center of the capital. Gwangnaru Park will host the event every Saturday and Sunday, for a total of six days. Jamwon Park will hold a performance program by local artists, teenagers and residents on Oct. 9. Visitors can reach Jamwon Park via the Apgujeong stop of the Hangang Bus, the city's river ferry service. The festival's theme is "Hangang Moeumjip," a play on words. "Moeumjip" means an anthology, while "jip" on its own means home. The festival is meant to bring together the different interests of family members in one place. Reading areas by the water will offer about 7,500 books: 6,000 at Gwangnaru and 1,500 at Jamwon. There will be 400 seats, including beanbags, mats and shaded spots. The collection includes picture books, essays, and travel and

Outlier ballerina: Kim Danbi dances her way to the top

Kim Danbi, 26, was in disbelief when her name was called by Houston Ballet Artistic Directors Julie Kent and Stanton Welch AM as its newest principal ballerina following her performance in the title role of "Giselle," which closed out the season. For several seconds, she looked as if she had no idea what had happened. Then, realizing that the mind-blowing announcement was real, Kim became teary-eyed. She walked toward Kent and Welch, and hugged them one after another amid thunderous applause from the audience. “I hoped that someday I could become a principal dancer, but I had never thought that day would come so early,” she said during a recent phone interview with the Korea Times. She rose to the top rank of the Houston Ballet on June 21, one year after she was promoted to first soloist. Giselle was Kim’s dream role, making the announcement even more meaningful because her promotion came on the very stage where she had just completed her performance. Her dedication to dance had paid off. Like Giselle, Kim is a passionate dancer. In the romantic ballet, Kim dominates the stage with h

4,000 reenactors to march 32 km in Korea's largest historical reenactment

In the autumn of 1795, King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty set out on an unprecedented eight-day royal pilgrimage from his palace in Seoul to his father’s memorial site in Hwaseong. Escorting his mother, Lady Hyegyeong, the monarch marched with thousands of soldiers, officials and horses in a historic display of filial piety and royal authority. That grand journey will return on a monumental scale this Sunday. The Seoul Metropolitan Government, Gyeonggi Province, and the cities of Suwon and Hwaseong announced a joint historic reenactment of King Jeongjo’s 31.8-kilometer procession. The 2026 King Jeongjo Royal Parade will begin from Gyeongbok Palace in central Seoul and cross the Han River to end at Yungneung, the royal tomb complex in Gyeonggi Province. Featuring more than 4,000 participants and 108 horses, the daylong festival is one of Korea’s largest living history spectacles. The procession bridges four major municipal boundaries, transforming modern urban thoroughfares into dynamic outdoor stages for traditional pageantry, street theater and cultural performances.
