○ Sungyong Park: This is the time for ‘Gyeong Gi Culture' , which quickly conveys the cultural news of Gyeonggi Province. We are together every Friday. Let's meet Reporter Park full of bright energy. Hello. Reporter Park!

▶ Suyoung Park: Hello. This is Suyoung Park, a ‘Culture News Messenger’ that quickly delivers cultural news such as various exhibitions and performances in Gyeonggi-do. Today we will introduce ‘Doksanseong'. We brought the news of the to promote Doksanseong Fortress, a representative regional festival in Osan City, and played an important military site from Unified Shilla to Gore and Imjin War.

○ Sungyong Park: You say “Doksanseong”? In fact, I have heard it many times on the air and I know the existence itself. Of course, I don't know the details of Doksanseong's details.

▶ Suyoung Park: It's a very historic place, but I don't think many people know it yet. So, we are going to find out with me today. First of all, I'll hear from Doo-won Cho, Curator of the Gyeonggi Cultural Heritage Research Institute, who conducted academic research on Doksanseong Fortress.

“It is about 8 years BC, King Onjo of Baekje. There is a record in the Samguk Sagi. Since then, there are cases recorded in Doksan and Doksanseong. And there were various battles between the three countries, and it is analyzed as an important military strategic position among them. So, it can be analyzed that from the Three Kingdoms period to the Joseon Dynasty, it really continued to be active...

○ Sungyong Park: Whoa, Baekje? History can't be judged? If you look at the record of several battles in this Doksanseong Fortress, it seems that it is in a really important strategic position.

▶ Suyoung Park: That's right. As if there was a fierce battle, it is said that a number of relics from the Three Kingdoms period are being unearthed upon investigation. This good news Let’s listen in detail from Park Jeong-hyun, the person in charge of the Osan Cultural Foundation, who is preparing this Osan Doksanseong Cultural Festival.

“We had good news. As Doksanseong was repaired, relics from the Three Kingdoms era were discovered. Based on the unearthed relics, the history of 1500 years is estimated, and the incumbent head of the Cultural Heritage Administration visits twice and everyone is preparing to promote Doksan Castle as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.”

○ Sungyong Park: Is it a UNESCO World Heritage Site? It is a pity that many places with such historical value are not known. Reporter Suyoung Park Please tell us in detail today~

▶ Suyoung Park: Yes, this Doksanseong Fortress is a place where General Kwon Yul’s patriotism and the mourning thought of King Jeongjo reside. In particular, the performance of General Kwon Yul during the Imjin War period cannot be left out.

○ Sungyong Park: As far as I know, General Kwon Yul is a general who commanded the army for 7 years during the Japanese invasion. But what kind of performance did you unfold in Doksangseong?

▶ Suyoung Park: One of the fortresses of Doksanseong Fortress, “Semadaeji”, is said to be a place where General Kwon Yul blocked the Japanese army's massive attack and helped restore Hanyang during the Imjin War. It is said that he showed his enemies ‘the appearance of washing horses using white rice’ to deceive the situation of Doksanseong, where water was scarce due to anecdotes at the time. By pretending to be a place rich in water, we were able to retreat the Japanese army and overcome the difficult crisis in the country.

○ Sungyong Park: It seems that General Kwon Yul's excellent wisdom led the battle to victory. This spirit should be widely known~

▶ Suyoung Park: That's right. Osan City holds the “Osan Doksanseong Cultural Festival” every year to promote this meaningful place, Doksanseong Fortress. I'll hear from Park Jung-hyun about what kind of festival it is.

It will also be released on YouTube.”

○ Sungyong Park: How do you participate in the “World Cultural Heritage Registration Campaign”?

○ Sungyong Park: Right. After listening to the story like this, I want to visit Doksanseong directly.

▶ Suyoung Park: That's good. It's very nice to take a walk, so you can often see people with your dog. If you have a chance next time, it would be nice to visit Doksanseong Fortress yourself.

I will hear the story of Doo-won Cho, Curator of Gyeonggi Cultural Heritage Research Institute, who hopes that the historical significance of Doksanseong will be remembered through this festival.
