Hasukdong No. 1

Hasukdong No. 1 will be held from November 6 to November 8, 2026, at 21 Dangganjiju-gil, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do. Admission is free in 2026. The public notice does not state whether advance reservations are required, so ask first about reservations at 041-852-1321 or 041-854-5006. This edition is announced around Gongju Hasuk Village and 1967 Hoseo Theater, but changes in location, scale, or fees compared with the 2025 edition have not been made public.

Hasukdong No. 1 in 2026 identifies two venues together

The 2026 notice places the event around Gongju Hasuk Village and 1967 Hoseo Theater. The address of 1967 Hoseo Theater is 21 Gamyeong-gil (Jung-dong 199), Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do, which is different from 21 Dangganjiju-gil.

The 2026 notice does not include the location, scale, or fee figures needed for comparison with the 2025 materials, so it cannot be concluded that the event is larger or that the program has changed from the previous edition. The event is hosted and organized by Gongju-si, the Gongju Cultural Tourism Foundation, and the Junghak-dong Hasuk Culture Preservation Association, with support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Chungcheongnam-do Provincial Government. Its purpose of reexamining the history and significance of Gongju's boarding-house culture in a modern way is also presented.

Save 21 Dangganjiju-gil and 21 Gamyeong-gil on your map first

The event address is 21 Dangganjiju-gil, while the 1967 Hoseo Theater listed alongside it is at 21 Gamyeong-gil (Jung-dong 199). Enter Gongju Hasuk Village and the two street names separately in your map app to avoid confusing the locations.

The 2026 notice does not provide information about the nearest station or terminal, city bus routes and travel times, a festival shuttle, or parking locations and fees. The event operates daily from 14:00 to 20:00.

Since the event ends at 20:00, the event hours alone suggest that visitors can stay from daytime through the evening, but there is no information about the last transit services, so it cannot be confirmed that a same-day trip by public transportation is possible. Until you check the last departure, it is safer to plan as if a same-day public-transit trip is not possible.

From the 15-minute entrance exam to boarding-house kalguksu

From 14:00 to 20:00, the Entrance Examination War program includes a 15-minute entrance exam and a scholarship quiz. The languages and exact times for the exam and quiz have not been announced, so travelers who cannot read Korean should check on site whether participation is possible.

The Boarding House Winter Preparation Operation includes making kimchi and carrying briquettes, while Lucky Maxing includes floating daetong lanterns, fortune-telling, and collecting good luck. The Nostalgic Go-Go Dance Hall covers the music and dances of the era, and food and snacks connected with the boarding-house table are also introduced.

School-uniform experiences and the Boarding-House Kalguksu performance are also listed. Admission is free, but prices for food and snacks, card or cash payment options, and the locations of restrooms and information booths have not been disclosed.

Information about English signs, interpretation, or multilingual leaflets has not been made public. Therefore, visitors should check whether understanding Korean is necessary for the 15-minute entrance exam, scholarship quiz, and fortune-telling, and should ask first how the music and dance activities and daetong lantern floating are conducted.

Four things to ask at 041-852-1321

The 2026 notice does not state the operating, cancellation, or refund policies for rainy weather; wheelchair or stroller accessibility; or expected crowds and waiting times. Information about restrooms, rest areas, luggage storage, and cleanliness and safety management is also unavailable, so travelers who rely on mobility aids or need a quiet viewing environment should ask about on-site conditions first.

Even travelers who require English assistance cannot easily determine from the publicly available 2026 information whether help will be available. Travelers who cannot return home late should note that the event ends at 20:00 and last-transit information is unavailable, so they should confirm their return transportation or accommodation in advance rather than planning a same-day trip.

Before departing, contact 041-852-1321 or 041-854-5006 to check the times of each program, rainy-weather operations, accessibility, and parking all at once.
