JEONJU, Oct. 10 (Korea Bizwire) – On the afternoon of Saturday, October 7, a massive bowl of bibimbap graced the special stage at the Jeonju Sports Complex Stadium in North Jeolla Province, capturing the attention of both citizens and tourists.
This huge bowl of bibimbap served as a symbolic representation of the 2023 Jeonju Bibimbap Festival, which commenced on the same day, showcasing the city’s diverse array of dishes and culture.
