The Yeongam Wangin Culture Festival will be held from April 4-7 in Yeongam-gun County, Jeollanam-do Province, to honor Dr. Wangin (known as Wani in Japan), a scholar from the Baekje Kingdom of Korea (18 B.C.-660).
Wangin brought The Analects of Confucius to Japan, where he spread Confucian canon and Chinese characters. He also taught the son of Japanese emperor Ojin.
The four-day event will feature fireworks, a traditional Korean culture show, a musical about the scholar's life and other attractions.
