Mapo-gu District Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun attended the "Majubom 2026 Dance Festival" on Tuesday afternoon at Culture Tank T2, joining people with and without disabilities as they came together through music and dance.
Hosted by Mapo-gu and organized by the Mapo-gu Federation of the Disabled, the festival was designed to let anyone enjoy music and movement in their own way, regardless of disability type.
The event featured a free-form dance session set to DJ music and video, followed by a dance battle in which participants showed off their moves to rounds of applause and cheers from the crowd.
To ensure all attendees could enjoy the festival without difficulty, the district consulted with local disability welfare organizations and groups during the planning stage and arranged seating, accessible pathways and rest areas tailored to different disability types and individual needs.
Yoo thanked representatives of those disability welfare organizations and volunteers whose efforts helped make the festival an inclusive gathering.
"Everyone here is the star of this festival — whether you're dancing on stage or simply swaying to the rhythm in your seat," Yoo said. "Just as the name 'Majubom' suggests meeting face to face, I hope this was a time when people looked into each other's eyes, shared smiles and felt a little closer."
