Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization (GTO) have released Gyeonggi Daughter (Zombie Daughter Going on a Trip to Gyeonggi-do) for those who can’t visit Gyeonggi Province due to COVID-19. Through this webtoon, you can explore tourist attractions in Gyeonggi Province online.

Each new episode of this 8-part webtoon will be released every Thursday starting September 3 via NAVER WEBTOON (“Themed” category). The webtoon will introduce popular historic places of the Joseon Dynasty, such as Sambong Memorial, the Museum of Silhak, Haengjusanseong Fortress, and Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon.

Gyeonggi Daughter is drawn by Lee Yun-chang, also well known for Time in Joseon and Zombie Daughter, who has a large fan base.

Time in Joseon is about a college student who travels back in time to the Joseon Dynasty during the reign of King Jeongjo. Zombie Daughter shows the world how the zombie virus spreads. It is about the love of a father trying to protect his daughter who has become a zombie. Gyeonggi Daughter has merged two stories: it is about the zombie daughter, her father and grandmother going on a trip to Gyeonggi Province together.

A Gyeonggi Provincial Government official said, “The majority of historical tourism consumers are people in their 40s or 50s. We planned this webtoon to attract interest in historic tourism from people in their 20s or 30s. Although residents of Gyeonggi Province can’t travel because of COVID-19, I hope they can have fun with this webtoon.”

The Joseon segment of the Historical Tour Itinerary in the Gyeonggi Grand Tour (grand.ggtour.or.kr) of Gyeonggi Province and the GTO will be introduced through this webtoon. Gyeonggi Province will continue the promotion of its tourist attractions next year as well through webtoons that are familiar to the public.
