T24 Festival

The T24 Festival, also known as the T24 Social Festival, was an event on September 8, 2012, in the Yangcheon District of Seoul, South Korea, during which former soldier Lee Kwang-nak was challenged to set up a 24-person military tent single-handedly in under 2 hours. The demonstrative event was organized by Lee after he had stated online on August 30, 2012, that he could do it alone, thus provoking disbelief from others; customarily, such a tent is erected as a team effort, usually by eight soldiers or more, rarely fewer.

Specifically taking place at Shinwon Elementary School, the T24 Festival drew over 2,000 people and involved corporate sponsorships, widespread media coverage and online attention, and high-profile attendees including the singer Lexy.
