Naepo Bobusang Village at 55 Oncheondanji 1-ro, Deoksan-myeon, Yesan, Chungnam is a heritage attraction about Korea's itinerant merchants. Yesan County's official notice dated May 15, 2026 states that the operating management contract ended and the final day was May 24, with refurbishment closure from May 25. The county's current website says the attraction is closed and hopes to reopen in spring 2027, but gives no confirmed exact date. Old visitor directories may still show admission, experiences and wheelchair/stroller services. Do not assume these are available now; confirm reopening with the county's tourism facilities office before traveling.
