Queen Jeongsun Cultural Festival
Dongmangbong Peak in Sungin-dong, Jongno-gu, holds the poignant story of Queen Jeongsun, consort of King Danjong, the 6th king of the Joseon Dynasty. Left alone at eighteen, she spent over sixty years gazing at the eastern sky, yearning for her husband. In the spring of 2026, we transform this 'purple longing' into 'hope and comfort.' The festival commemorates the warmth of the common people who quietly stood by the widowed queen.
