Notes on the 2024 edition

21st edition, ten days. Free city-tour buses ran from Iksan Station, and shuttles linked the grounds with Palbong Sports Complex, the Wonkwang University east car park and the Sinheung-dong public car park. The Newsis headline gives 18–29 October, but its text says ten days from the 18th to the 27th.
