There will also be a photo zone and 'Life Four Cuts' space where you can take pictures of fun moments at the event.
A receipt event will also be held for visitors who purchase various cosmetics and beauty products on site, and visitors who purchase more than a certain amount can receive free gifts from participating companies.
There are plenty of performances and things to see during the event.
On the opening day, there will be a fusion Korean traditional music performance, followed by a national beauty arts contest and a hair show for each generation.
Programs that will add to the fun, such as broadcaster Kim Young-hee's 'Horse Show', will also be held.
Character and cosplay events are being prepared on the 24th, the last day of the event.
Kim Wang-il, head of the Advanced Bio Department of the province, said, “This expo will go beyond a simple industrial exhibition and will be decorated as a beauty festival to see, experience, and enjoy.” He added, “We will make every effort to prepare for the event during the remaining period so that many visitors can experience K-beauty in Osong.”
