Yeondeunghoe, a lantern lighting festival in South Korea, was inscribed on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural assets on Wednesday.
The final decision on the lantern festival’s listing was made during the 15th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, which runs Monday to Saturday. The meetings are being held virtually due to the global pandemic.
“Unfortunately, we could not celebrate the listing on site together with Korean representatives and the Yeondeunghoe Preservation Committee, but we are really glad to see our representative festival Yeondeunghoe being listed after a nearly three-year journey,” head of the Cultural Heritage Administration Chung Jae-suk said
