Paju Book City was filled with books and performances for two days, last Saturday and Sunday, the 25th and 26th.

The 'Paju Book & Culture Fair,' unfolded under the autumn sunshine, was a special weekend where books and art harmonized.

On a bright autumn day, people gathered in small groups under the blue sky, enjoying books, performances, and the autumn scenery on the streets.

They strolled slowly along the street lined with publishing houses and book cafes.

The usually quiet alleys were bustling with activity. The laughter of children, the rhythm of busking, and the dazzling sunlight all blended together like a painting.

On the way to the 'Forest of Wisdom,' excitement was evident in every step. People watched street performances and entered open book cafes to listen to author talks.

It was a moment where you might think, "When was the last time I had such a leisurely time?" It felt like the autumn sunshine was seeping into every page.

People visited the National Library of Korea booth, solved initial consonant quizzes, and took instant photos.

The weather, mood, and expressions in the photos were all bright.

At the 'Forest of Wisdom Munbal Salon,' where the shared bookshelf was operated, a soft song flowed over the piano melody. People who stopped to listen to the music looked relaxed.

Walking through the publishing city with children's drawings, book talks, and performances along the streets, people encountered high-quality performances. People laughed and talked about books.

For me, who participated in the shared bookshelf <Wisdom Forest for All> at this festival, the scenery was heartwarming.

Walking through the alleys where autumn leaves had fallen, I fully enjoyed the autumn created by books and art.

In the front yard of a traditional Korean house, author talks and poetry readings were held, and red ivy vines decorated the autumn stage. Migratory birds flew overhead, making sounds. Even that seemed like part of the festival.

As the sun began to set in the west, the orchestra played against the backdrop of the sky.♪

What mattered more than the number of audience members was the resonance in their hearts. It was a time when everyone melted into the music.

People paused for a moment and then walked slowly again. "Strangely, I'm not tired." Even though I should have been tired, my steps were still light.

Next to the marronnier tree, people stood like works of art, and I saw 'the freedom of autumn' in their 모습.

Books, performances, and autumn foliage were all in one place.

Even the birds flying in the sky seemed to be dancing to the rhythm of the festival. Today, my heart was filled with excitement.

The final stage of the festival was 'Park Concert with Books and Music: An Exhibition by Author Kim Chang-wan.'

The night air was chilly, but the passion on stage was 뜨거웠습니다. The passion of Kim Chang-wan, both an author and a singer, ignited the hearts of the audience.

In the light, music, and cheers of the people, the autumn night became deeper and more splendid.

The festival, which had a perfect beginning and ending, Paju Book & Culture Fair, a book festival in an open space where nature, books, and performances came together, makes us look forward to the next festival with excitement.

Before we knew it, darkness had fallen, and although the performance was over, the afterglow remained on people's faces.

It was a day of 축제 where books, music, people, and the season came together.

I look forward to the next Paju Book & Culture Fair!
