Yangcheon Cultural Center's Munaon Costume Holds Photo Time on Children's Class Day

Munaon, the mascot of Yangcheon Cultural Center in Seoul, appeared before children as a costumed character in April 2023. On a day when the center held a children's class, the Munaon costume character hosted a surprise photo time.

Munaon is a mascot that Yangcheon Cultural Center unveiled in 2023 together with a slogan. Its name combines the meanings of culture and chameleon, and also carries the meaning of turning culture "on." The mascot was also given the backstory of a little researcher. By releasing the slogan and the mascot at the same time, Yangcheon Cultural Center made Munaon the new face of the center.

The photo time did not end as a one-day event. Yangcheon Cultural Center set up a permanent Munaon photo zone on the second floor of its building, so that visitors can take pictures with the mascot at any time.

Munaon met visitors to the center in two ways: as a costume character and through the photo zone. The mascot went from a drawing to a costume with a body, and then to a photo zone that is always in place. News of the photo time and the photo zone was posted on the Yangcheon Cultural Center website in April 2023.
