"Gimbap Festival" without gimbap?SNS Gimcheon Gimbap Festival Postings [Anchor Report]

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.

The gimbap prepared was quickly exhausted as 100,000 people flocked to the gimbap festival held in Gimcheon last weekend, five times the expected number.

Eventually, Gimcheon City announced at 2 p.m. on the first day of the festival that "the Gimbap Zone Gimbap is expected to run out of ingredients within 3 p.m."

The same thing was repeated on the second day of the festival.

Then, complaining reviews from festival participants came up on social media.

From complaints that they went to the gimbap festival and ate triangular gimbap or cup noodles at convenience stores, to criticism that they lacked preparation for the festival.

It wasn't just a harsh criticism.There was also support for

"I hope we prepare better next year and hold it."

Also, there were responses such as "I was able to taste various gimbap by selling it in half a line," and "It was good to reduce the packaging container as much as possible and put food in puffs and tea containers."

Let's listen to the voice of the participants.

[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

'Gimcheon', a lot of people answered 'Gimbap Heaven'.

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 that next year will prepare well and become a representative festival in the region, and many new festivals will be created in other regions.
