Chongdong Theater was built in 1995
as a reproduction of Wongaksa, the
first national theater in Korea. Located
near Deoksugung and Jungmyeongjeon
(Seoul-city designated Tangible Cultural
Asset No. 53), Chongdong theater is
a place where the spirit of Korean
traditions is still alive. It has
played an important role in introducing
Korean culture around the world through
the Korean Traditional Stage.
I believe that the Korean Traditional
Stage at Chongdong Theater will
lay the foundation for Korean culture
to be globally recognized by enabling
foreign tourists visiting Korea
to experience the majestic and exciting
Korean traditional arts firsthand.
I applaud with all my heart to
Chongdong Theater which has made
dedicated efforts to introduce the
true beauty and delight of Korea
to the world.
