On June 4, Everland announced that it has chosen soccer as the theme for the sixth installment of its monthly special project, the 'Whatever Series.' This initiative offers guests unique experiences each month.
At the festival content zone in front of Everland's Alpine Village, a 'Football Training Camp' has opened, allowing participants to complete training missions and earn rewards. Guests can engage in position-specific missions for forwards, goalkeepers, and midfielders, as well as additional bingo challenges to record their scores. Based on their total points, participants can receive prizes such as Amazon Express Q-Passes, cheering tools, and soccer merchandise.
A special program where guests can experience actual soccer skills is also available. Every Friday and Saturday, elementary school students can learn techniques from freestyle soccer experts Lee Hyun-yong and Park Jin-seok of the 'Lycats Crew.' From Wednesday to Sunday, a recreational event called 'High-Intensity Training with Coaches' will take place.
Photo zones reminiscent of soccer fields and training camps will be set up throughout the area. A special photo opportunity featuring the character 'Jack' dressed in soccer-themed attire will also be available. Collaborative merchandise between the K League 2's Suwon Samsung and Everland characters will be sold at the camp's shop.
Adjacent to the soccer experience area, a 'Mexican Food Street' has been established, featuring four food trucks offering a variety of dishes, including Mexican chicken tacos, walking tacos, elote, and Mexican shrimp. Additionally, the zoo will host a prediction event linked to its animal enrichment programs. Throughout June, visitors wearing soccer jerseys will receive discounts on admission and benefits for camp participation through the 'Play & Cheer Up!' promotion.
In the Rose Garden, guests can explore over 40 varieties of the homegrown garden rose 'Everrose,' developed by Everland since 2013. In the 'Rose Lab' experience area, visitors can smell four types of Everrose, while a fragrance delivery robot named 'Roji' circulates throughout the garden. A popularity vote for a new rose variety, set to be officially launched soon, is also being conducted both online and offline.
At night, the 'Purple Rose Zone' and a 3-meter tall chandelier photo zone will feature garden lighting displays. Jazz band performances will take place daily.
Rose-themed food and merchandise are also attracting attention. At the restaurant Cucina Mario, a pizza shaped like a rose made with beef and rose-flavored ade will be offered, while snack booths will sell heart-shaped churros and roseberry ice cream. Visitors can also find over 20 new merchandise items inspired by the artist Daria Song.
