Story and Things to Watch For

This production follows the adventures of a little jangseung who leaves home after catching a delicious smell. It uses traditional instruments to tell stories about seasonal customs. The official introduction lists its genres as madanggeuk, puppet theater, and yeonhuigeuk.

Before attending, consider how puppetry and traditional Korean music come together. Seasonal customs are everyday traditions observed at particular times each year. Household gods are deities traditionally believed to protect the home.

• Watch how the puppets' movements and the sounds of traditional instruments bring each scene to life.
• Look for how the jangseung and the gods that protect the home appear.
• After the performance, talk with your child about memorable sounds or characters.

You can find the production introduction and performing company in the organizer's promotional material posted on the Seoul Culture Portal.

Cancellation Fees and Actual Cancellation Deadlines

Cancellation fees vary depending on how many days remain before the performance. The ticket seller states that its cancellation fee policy takes precedence over the booking cancellation conditions. The examples below are based on one ticket at the standard price of 20,000 won.

The listing also includes conditions for cancellations within 7 days of booking. Do not assume cancellation is free based on that wording alone. If the performance date is close, check the fee policy that takes precedence.

Cancellation fees are waived for cancellations before midnight on the booking date only if the cancellation deadline has not passed. If this condition is met, the booking fee is also refunded. If you book a performance after its cancellation deadline has passed, cancellation and refunds are unavailable from the moment of booking.

1. Open the booking details in the account you used to book.
2. Check the cancellation deadline for your selected performance.
3. Check the fee and expected refund shown on the cancellation screen.
4. To cancel, complete the process before the displayed deadline.

What to Check Before Attending on Sunday Afternoon

Online booking for the Sunday 16:00 performance also closes at 11:00 on Saturday. A later performance does not mean a later booking deadline. If you are making family plans over the weekend, check this difference first.

Check the online booking deadline and the actual cancellation deadline separately. The online deadline rules alone do not tell you whether tickets can be purchased at the venue. Contact Children's Theater if you want to buy tickets there.

Do not apply information about performances with the same title in other regions to the Jongno performance. Even when the title is the same, check the admission age and prices for each performance. For this visit, prepare according to the dates and conditions in the Children's Theater listing.
