About

A festival honoring Heo Jun — Joseon's greatest physician, whose 25-volume medical encyclopedia Donguibogam (1610) is inscribed in UNESCO's Memory of the World — held in the Seoul district where he was born and wrote it. Since 2023 it fills the Seoul Botanic Park lawn with traditional-medicine experiences and performances.
