About the festival
National Heritage Media Art at Jinnamgwan is a free evening light show in Yeosu's old harbour district: projections and media façades on Jinnamgwan, a 1599 naval hall and National Treasure, on the Gosodae memorial site and on the turtle-ship replica in Yi Sun-sin Square tell the story of Admiral Yi Sun-sin. It runs 9 October–8 November 2026, 19:30–21:30 nightly except Tuesdays and special closure days around the 19 October Yeosu–Suncheon memorial, with an AI 'Yi Sun-sin', a stamp tour and weekend flea markets. From Seoul, take the KTX from Yongsan to Yeosu EXPO Station (about 2 h 50 m–3 h 10 m, ₩45,400), then a taxi; no 2027 edition has been announced.
Transport, booking, crowd and accessibility details are on the main National Heritage Media Art at Jinnamgwan, Yeosu page, which covers every edition.
