2026 Yeoju Hangeul Day Cultural Event Schedule · TiniPing · Heunhan Nam-mae, Before Visiting Sejong Daewangneung with Kids

Hangeul Day, commemorating the proclamation of Hunminjeongeum, is approaching ✍️

Marking the 580th anniversary of its proclamation, the 2026 Hangeul Day Cultural Event will be held for two days, on Friday, October 9 and Saturday, October 10, at the Sejong Daewangneung Area (세종대왕릉 일원) in Yeoju.

I’ve organized the event details from the Yeoju Sejong Culture & Tourism Foundation and the National Heritage Administration’s Royal Tombs Office announcements.

🎪 About the Event

The foundation introduces this event as a celebration of the creation of Hunminjeongeum, honoring King Sejong’s legacy and promoting the excellence and scientific nature of Hangeul.

This year, there are special performances for children, Hangeul experiences, Hangeul exhibitions, and a small concert at the rest area. Both days run from 10:00 to 17:00, and admission is free.

Also, on Hangeul Day itself, the 9th, admission to Sejong Daewangneung is free. The Royal Tombs Office announced free admission to Sejong Heritage Sites on Hangeul Day in their October-November notice. There is no separate information about admission fees for the 10th.

✨ What’s Happening When?

The main performances are concentrated on the 9th, and on the 10th, there will be a small concert. The schedule is organized in the table below by time.

The poster states that all seats for the performances are free and first-come, first-served.

The TiniPing Singalong Show is an interactive performance where you can enjoy the theme song and dances together, with photo time and audience events as well.

The Heunhan Nam-mae Talk Show features Hangeul-themed talks, recreation, and Hangeul communication games involving the audience.

There is also a children’s musical mentioned in the event details, but the time has not been announced yet.

🧩 What Can You Do at the Hangeul Playground?

The ‘Hangeul Playground for the Senses!’ is divided into six themes: body, mind, art, taste, scent, and light.

All experiences are free, but operating hours may change depending on the situation on site.

The exhibition is a ‘100th Anniversary Hangeul Day Special Exhibition’ held on both the 9th and 10th. It includes the 14th National King Sejong Hangeul Calligraphy Competition winning works, and the 10th Beautiful Ink Exhibition, a calligraphy show expressing Hangeul with ink and brush.

🚌 Getting There & Parking

Here are the directions from the foundation. Take the Gyeonggang Line to Sejong Daewangneung Station or Yeoju Station, then transfer to a bus.

If driving, set your navigation to ‘Yeongneung’ or ‘Sejong Daewangneung’. It’s near Yeoju IC on the Yeongdong Expressway or Seoyeoju IC on the Jungbu Inland Expressway.

The event map marks the entrance to the Sejong Daewangneung parking lot. There is no information about parking fees, number of spaces, or shuttles in the official guide.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Going with Kids

If you want to see TiniPing and Heunhan Nam-mae, go on the 9th. TiniPing performs twice, at 11:00 and 16:00, so if you miss the morning show, there’s another in the afternoon.

Between performances, you can explore the Hangeul Playground and exhibitions for a full day of activities.

The Sejong Daewangneung rice harvest experience for families on the 10th has already selected 30 families by lottery (applications were open from September 30 to October 6).
