The Dongnaeeupseong History Festival is Dongnae-gu’s signature festival combining history education with hands-on experiences. First launched as Chungnyeolje in 1995, the festival is now celebrating its 32nd edition. Recognized as one of Korea’s leading cultural tourism festivals, it invites visitors to experience the vivid history of 1592 through immersive programs and performances. The festival opens with the Dongnae Magistrate Parade, a grand street procession featuring hundreds of participants. The Dongnaeseong Battle Reenactment Musical, staged at the actual site of an Imjin War battle and enhanced with media art, brings the story of Dongnae’s determined resistance vividly to life. Visitors can also join the Dongnae Three-Strand Tug-of-War, a communal event that brings people together, and enjoy contemporary hands-on activities such as an outdoor escape room and snack-making experiences. At Dongnae Market, visitors can carry yeopjeon (traditional coins) into a recreated Joseon-era marketplace and experience daily life as a resident of the old fortress town. Blending history with the future, the festival offers a rich variety of programs and creates special memories for visitors this fall.

Site of Dongnaeeupseong Walled Town, built towards the end of the Goryeo dynasty and the early Joseon dynasty, was a significant fortress during the Imjin War in 1592. It served as the main battleground where civilians, officials, and soldiers united to resist the Japanese forces. Recognizing the strategic importance of the Dongnae area, a much larger fortress was constructed in 1731, replacing the original structure from one built during war. Today, only traces of the fortress remain, with the Bukmun Gate, Insaengmun Gate, Dongjangdae Command Post, Seojangdae Command Post, and Bukjangdae Command Post having been restored.

Celebrating its 42nd anniversary this year, Wooridul Spine Hospital is a unique clinic that has opened a new chapter in spine treatment by establishing a “minimally invasive spine surgery technique” that focuses on a concerned area of the spine, preserving as much normal tissue as possible.
As the only hospital in in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam specializing in spine, we enhanced accuracy and safety with a digital spine surgery system composed of three MRI machines and a neuro-surveillance monitoring.
We abide by the principle of “team surgery,” that a single patient should be cared for simultaneously by specialists across different fields, and the “Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion” co-performed by a cardiothoracic surgeon works to minimize complications and side effects.
From mild disc diseases to chronic diseases of elderly patients, we provide the highest level of customized treatment in Korea based on the principle of phased treatment and provide 24-hour specialized nursing care with integrated medical care service for all wards.
Our staff have authored more than 370 SCIE-level articles and 35 textbooks and are constantly researching new techniques for patients, including endoscopic treatment of spinal stenosis, surgery for spondylolisthesis through the belly button, and ligament reconstruction to preserve muscles and bones.
