Kim Chan-dong, CEO of the Naju Cultural Foundation, expressed his ambitions, saying, "I hope that participation in this International Tea Culture Expo will serve as an opportunity to widely promote the historical and ecological value of Naju wild tea. We will continue to utilize Naju's unique traditional tea culture resources to vitalize cultural tourism and enhance local brand value." This is the foundation's plan to imprint Naju's historical identity on the stage of a large-scale expo where tea enthusiasts and consumers from all over the country gather. However, behind the flashy numbers of tens of thousands of visitors every year, there lies a stagnant promotional formula unique to local governments that fails to overcome the limitations of one-off exhibition events and relies solely on past records.
The biggest blind spot of this event is that the method of conveying the charm of Naju's tea culture is excessively past-oriented and flat. The foundation emphasizes legitimacy by putting forward the founding myth of Bulhoesa Temple in the 4th century or the name of the administrative district 'Dado-myeon,' but this paradoxically proves that current Naju tea culture lacks 'today's story' that can appeal to the public. Before presenting the number of tasters and visitors last year as achievements, a cold reflection should have preceded on whether consumers who drank a cup of tea in a limited space called an expo hall could continuously consume or remember Naju wild tea in their daily lives. It is nearly impossible to open the wallets of modern consumers with only historical justification.
In addition, the plan to expand the tourism brand in connection with the '2026 Visit Naju Year' is also close to a simple additive planning. Visitors to Seoul COEX are goal-oriented visitors focused on a specific category of tea. It is difficult to induce a direct travel motive to Naju just by showing them traditional small dining tables and natural dyeing together. A promotional hall operated only during the event period is likely to end up as a bulleted exhibition listing local assets like a comprehensive gift set, and consequently carries a structural problem that makes it difficult to precisely measure the trickle-down effect returned to the local economy compared to the budget input.
In the end, the Naju Cultural Foundation's participation in the expo shows the inertia of administration that relies on the external success of festivals and securing promotion numbers. The attempt itself to promote Naju to a large consumption area like Seoul is meaningful, but it is difficult to survive in fierce cultural content competition with other local governments with a simple tasting and exhibition-oriented approach. The foundation must avoid media play that clings to achievements inside the expo booth. Instead, it should focus its capabilities on converting Naju wild tea's manufacturing method into a high-value-added product that the youth can consume by combining it with modern wellness trends, and designing sophisticated links so that the expo experience leads to stay-type tourism programs visiting actual tea fields or historical temples in the Naju region.
