Why it matters now

The program opens tomorrow, October 9, turning recently restored Jinnamgwan and the surrounding Yi Sun-sin heritage area into a nighttime route. It overlaps with the Yeosu World Island Fair, so it can add a culture-and-history option after daytime island or city plans without treating media art as a substitute for the heritage itself.
