A local festival held on the grounds of Soi Elementary School in Seoul’s Gongdeok neighborhood enlivened the community on Nov. 3 with music and performances. The Gongdeok Harmony Choir sang their mellifluous tunes, a traditional music troupe provided a striking performance, and a group of local Buddhist monks performed a traditional dance or spiritual cleansing. The festival was open to people of all ages. (Kang Jae-hoon, staff photographer)
