It was tentatively calculated that the crowd on the first day of the ‘2023 Global Barbecue Festival’, which was held in partnership with Baek Jong-won, CEO of The Born Korea, exceeded 100,000.
According to Hongseong-gun on the 4th, 100,030 people visited the festival site the day before, the first day of the festival. Foreign tourists accounted for more than 70%. Military officials reported that Janghang Line trains and express buses passing through Hongseong were sold out, and reservations for accommodations were also completed.
The ‘2023 Global Barbecue Festival’ is organized by Hongseong-gun and Hongju Culture and Tourism Foundation and consists of 8 things to eat, 9 things to enjoy, 8 things to see, and 4 things to do. In particular, the main barbecue zone operated by Baek Jong-won’s The Born Korea features 10 assorted barbecues, 5 whole pig barbecues, and 20 chicken barbecues.
At the festival site, 10 windmill-shaped ovens, 5 whole pig barbecue ovens, and a large oven capable of grilling 500 chickens at the same time were running all the time, but they ran out as soon as the barbecue came out.
Hongseong Korean Beef & Korean Pork Food Zone, which sells Korean beef and Korean pork at a 10-50% discount, has also sold out. The booths of YouTubers King Butcher, Chwiyonam, and Muntz, who showed off their spectacular performances using various barbecue facilities, were also well-attended.
