Maisan Provincial Park
Jeollabuk-do(Jinan-gun)

Mt. Maisan Provincial Park is located in Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do. During the Silla Kingdom, it was called Seodasan, during the Goryo Dynasty, Yongchulsan, and finally named Maisan during the Joseon Dynasty. Maisan is referred to by different names depending on the season. In the spring, it is called Dotdaebong, in the summer, Yonggakbong, in the fall, Maibong, and in the winter, Munpilbong.There is a myth that has been passed down through the generations regarding Mt. Maisan. It tells of two gods that came down from the sky, had a child and lived on earth for a while. As they were going back up to the sky, a village woman saw them ascending, and were trapped on earth and were transformed in to a rock mountain. Even today, you can see the father peak and the child peak, and the mother peak on the other side. The pagodas atop Mt. Maisan were built from native rocks and the top of these towers look as sharp as nails. On the south side of the mountain, it is said that there were over 120 of these pagodas, but only about 80 exist today. There is also something very mysterious about these pagodas. No matter how bad the weather, even during storms, they somehow do not sway or fall. Another interesting thing about Mt. Maisan are the icicles. If you put water into a bowl during the winter, the water freezes into a pole reaching for the sky. No one knows why or how this happens, but it makes Maisan just that much more mysterious and interesting to visit.

Jeonju Hanok Village [Slow City]
Jeollabuk-do(Jeonju-si)

Jeonju Hanok Village is located in the city of Jeonju and overlaps Pungnam-dong and Gyo-dong. There are over 800 traditional Korean 'hanok' houses. While the rest of city has been industrialized, Hanok Maeul retains its historical charms and traditions.Jeonju Hanok village is especially beautiful for its roof curves. The roof edges being slightly raised to the sky is unique. Hanok houses are generally divided into two sections, Anchae and Sarangchae. Anchae is also known as Gyusu room, and is furnished accordingly. Sarangchae is where the men dwell, and is referred to as the Seonbi room. Because men and women have to remain separate, Anchae is situated deep inside the house so that it is secretive and quiet.Another trait of Hanok is that all the houses are heated with the ondol system, a unique sub-flooring heating system. Since Koreans enjoy sitting, eating, and sleeping on the floor, it needs to remain heated. A part of Hanok has been set aside so that tourists can experience traditional Korean life, called Hanok Life Experience Hall. You can enter the Seonbi room and the Gyusu room to experience the warm floor first-hand. An advantage of this system is that it is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.The food provided is very traditional, which adds to the traditional ambience. At Jeonju Hanok Village, visitors can enjoy traditional Korean life and traditional foods like bibimbap, the most well known dish from the Jeonju region.

Fire Man is a dramatization of an occupational performance of firefighters. Character comedy performance To awaken the citizen safety awareness Disaster safety for performance by combining the new keyword 'Yamakasi' To give us a dynamic action and spectacular performances. 【TRIPPOSE★Gift】 Receive a complimentary pair of socks during July 1 - August 31, 2018 ※Limited to one gift per person; multiple benefits cannot be applied simultaneously.     A fire has happened! This time it is even worse! When the play starts, your hero will appear. Comedy Character Performance Firemen This is a story about how the firemen become heroes through many hardships. It is a story about them maturing.   Firefighters are there, as we have our very own neighbors. Whenever there is a dangerous situation or disaster, fire, or even if the animals escape from the zoo or there are mountain animals then we should call the 119. Nevertheless, their environment, treatment or eyes looking at them are the same and are all cold.. Maybe we do not have any feelings and do not really care for them nor know anything about them? The performance <Fire Man> is about how we do not know much about them and the closest we know is our hero firefighter's day-to-day protection and so we wanted to show the audience and make them want to closely to create and communicate while also being the envy of youths and children. I wanted to create story of a great firefighter and a future dream destination. Firefighters rescue personnel through the worst of circumstances such as at the scene of a fire scene or disaster but they also extinguish fires. They go beyond just extinguishing fires but they run around the city buildings and I believe parkour can express the best of their heroic movement. Rather than the average firemen we are showing more colorful, flowing parkour performance. <Fire Man> will stand out as a new stage act with firefighters.   Firefighters have tips for greater efforts to prevent accidents. So before any disaster even occurs, prevention of the disaster itself is what their first mission is. <Fire Man> is about anyone who wishes to be naturally informed through the performance as measures for disaster situations, from first aid to knowing how to prevent it. In February 2015 we had a two-week basic training which is used for the firefighting entrance test to the school with preliminary firefighters. Their training to become a firefighter was a lot more difficult than we can imagine, living with their emotions for a short period of time gave us a great sense of embracing their mission.           Mental and physical caricature of their daily sacrifice by default was shown by the production department throughout the process of creating a point where the <Fire Man> actors do harm to their sublimity, as an assistant. Practice went up twice to raise the stage but was overturned by its contents and now, it was equipped with little for its appearance. But we also have a long way to go. The fun starts now and we will change and work even harder to be able to meet our heroes up close and so we will continue to evolve. A fire has happened! This time it is even worse! When the play starts, your hero will appear. Comedy Character Performance Firemen This is a story about how the firemen become heroes through many hardships. It is a story about them maturing.     It is amazing to watch the Firemen work as they go to life risking locations and complete their duty to help and save others. They are people that have to go to any location no matter the situation. They go places which have unimaginable terror and they go through even fire to save people. To become heroes, the firemen go through a lot of hardships and the path to become an actual hero is long. This is the story of how the trainees go through harsh, strenuous training and develop their fighting vigour to become actual Firemen to be prepared for any situation. There may be times where they look magnificent or other times where they are ridiculous this is why we made the play very technical and comical.   Despite the smoke, The thick smoky fire field, Through a situation with only gas mask and hard to breathe smoke everywhere, What would be their choice?   To try and leap again A dangerous situation that crosses life and death The given time is just 4 minutes! The life is in critical condition spent over the Golden Time. But it can only through CPR can the heart beat again.   Into the blazing heart of the fire The siren sounds unfold a dire situation.
