Inje-gun in Gangwon Province has no reason to envy Monaco's Grand Prix circuit or Germany's Autobahn this July.

The county is set to host a series of events combining SuperRace motorsport, K-pop performances and the region's pristine natural scenery.

First up, the 2026 Hyundai N Festival Round 3 runs July 11 and 12 at Inje Speedium. The birch trees that dot the area around the circuit — ordinarily a draw for visitors seeking a peaceful retreat — will have plenty of excitement to take in throughout the month.

The event pairs high-octane racing with hands-on experience programs and celebratory performances, building a midsummer night festival atmosphere for all attendees.

On July 11, girl group Risenné — who have been gaining popularity among younger audiences through a chart resurgence of their 2024 track "Love Attack" and the catchphrase "Ya-ho!" from their YouTube content — will take the stage to heat up the midsummer night at Inje Speedium.

Hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo and boy group ONF are also set to perform, offering motorsport fans and general audiences alike a distinctive treat. Visitor participation programs including a grid walk, N-Taxi rides and a Circuit Safari are also planned on site.

The following weekend, July 18 and 19, brings the 2026 Gangwon International Motor Festa, one of South Korea's premier motorsport competitions. That event is also designed as a multi-format festival combining racing with performances, camping and fireworks.

On July 18, a night race will be accompanied by a drift show run, an EDM party and a fireworks display, showcasing the circuit's distinctive appeal after dark.

The 2026 Hyundai N Festival Round 3 is free to attend with no separate ticket required. Tickets for the 2026 Gangwon International Motor Festa are available through the online ticketing platform NOL Ticket, and detailed schedules and shuttle bus information can be found on each event's official website and social media channels.

"Inje Speedium in July will offer a wide range of programs that everyone can enjoy — from thrilling races to performances and hands-on events," said Lee Myeong-gyu, head of the tourism division at Inje-gun. "We hope many people will visit Inje during the summer holiday season to experience the dynamic appeal of motorsport alongside the region's attractions."
