See sources & evidence (pages checked, reference notes)
Reference notes for parents
These notes are general, mostly U.S., guidance.The CDC advises scrubbing hands with soap for at least 20 seconds (CDC, clean hands).
That is worth remembering after touching goods or random boxes, before a snack.
The CDC says ages 6 to 17 need at least 60 minutes of activity a day (CDC, child activity).
MedlinePlus also says most children need at least an hour of activity daily (MedlinePlus, exercise for children).
So a day that adds a walk in Seoul Forest can count toward that hour.
The NIH hearing institute says long or repeated sound at or above 85 dBA can cause hearing loss (NIDCD, noise-induced hearing loss).
We did not measure noise at any pop-up.
The WHO says physical activity in children and adolescents supports bone health and healthy growth (WHO, physical activity).
Details come from the official pages we opened on October 22. Operations can change.
Based on the official posts I checked on October 22. Operations can change.
