Kimbap Festival in Gimcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do, which attracted attention for its novel ideas even before the opening.
As the crowd gathered more than expected, there were a lot of reviews that they couldn't eat gimbap at the Gimbap Festival.
It is said that 100,000 people flocked to the Gimbap Festival held in Gimcheon last weekend, five times the expected number of 20,000 people.
The gimbap prepared by seven companies participating in the festival was quickly exhausted.
At 2 p.m. on the first day of the festival, Gimcheon-si announced on its official SNS, "It is expected that the Gimbap Zone Gimbap will run out of ingredients within 3 p.m."
The same thing was repeated on the second day of the festival.
Eventually, dissatisfied reviews from festival participants were posted on social media.
"I went to the gimbap festival, but I couldn't see the gimbap, and I only ate triangular gimbap at the convenience store," he said. "In the end, I ate cup noodles."
It was pointed out that there was a lack of preparation for the festival compared to the promotion of
.
It wasn't just a harsh criticism.
"I hope we prepare better next year and hold it."
"I was able to taste various kinds of gimbap by selling them in half."
"It was good to reduce the packaging container as much as possible and put food in puffed rice and multi-sashimi containers."
Let's hear the voices of the festival participants yourself.
[Choi Ga-yul/Choi Nak-ju/Doryang-dong, Gumi-si: First of all, the scenery is so nice and there are so many events to see. It takes some time because there are many people, but I think it's good to enjoy it with children even if I use my time. There are many different types of kimbap, so I'm going to try them all, and my wife is buying them now. I'm waiting for that, so I usually eat gimbap, but there's a different gimbap, so I came here with the kids.]
Earlier, Gimcheon City planned this festival with ideas from a survey of the MZ generation.When asked what image comes to mind when you think of
{Kimcheon}, there were many funny answers saying 'Gimbap Heaven'
City has decided to use it as a reverse idea, and has even created a kimbap mascot called 'Kkodal' to promote the kimbap festival.
Although the first event of the festival was insufficient, I hope you will prepare well next year and become a representative festival in the region,
And I hope there will be many new festivals in other regions that will revive the local economy and entertain tourists.
