Public Bike Sharing, Kkotsingyi, the winner of the naming contest, is a compound word of Kkotsim(Jeonju spirit) and Singsing (meaning fresh). Why don’t you rend Jeonju’s public bicycles, Kkotsingyi, and enjoy the hidden places along the riverside cherry blossom on spring days?

The 24th edition of JEONJU IFF along with Jeonju City presents Focus: East Asian Films Now as a part of the Culture City of East Asia project intended to cultivate understanding and cooperation through cultural exchange between Korea, China, and Japan.
