  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that Seoul’s Dongdaemun district will host the Multicultural Family Happy Gathering on September 12, featuring a hands-on cultural fair that will showcase global traditions, eco-friendly crafts, and live performances in the heart of the city. Organized by the Jung-gu Family Center, this family festival aims to bridge cultural gaps and celebrate the neighborhood’s growing diversity. The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Hyundai City Outlet Dongdaemun outdoor plaza, divided into three interactive zones representing Vietnam, Mongolia, and the United States. Sponsorships from corporate partners like Hyundai City Outlet, the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, and KB Kookmin Bank have expanded the festival’s reach, with early registrations selling out quickly and organizers anticipating thousands of walk-up visitors.",
