Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) will stage the performance "Dongchun Circus with Nostalgic Old Songs" on the 16th.

Guro-gu announced on the 8th that to celebrate the New Year, it has prepared the "Dongchun Circus with Nostalgic Old Songs" performance to offer fun and emotion to the elderly through cultural and artistic performances.

The performance will be divided into two parts and held for two hours from 6 p.m. at the Gumin Hall auditorium. Veteran comedian Bang Ilsu, who appeared on KBS's "Myeongrang Theater" and "Smile Brings Luck," will host the event.

In the first part, singers who dominated the 50s and 60s will perform lively shows, including Johnny Lee, who sang "Hot Goodbye" and "If You Live," Myeong Gukhwan of "Wandering Poet Kim Satgat," An Jeong-ae of "Daejeon Blues," and Park Geon, known for "Love Follows the Seasons" and "I Forgot That Person's Name."

Following that, in the second part, the Korea Acrobatics Association will present "Dongchun Circus," the oldest circus in Korea. Dongchun Circus is a comprehensive artistic performance that combines traditional circus acrobatics and tricks with artistic elements.

Earlier, from 3 p.m., a health experience center will be set up at Gallery Guruji. Basic health check-up services such as smoking cessation clinics, vascular examinations, and mental health screenings will be provided, along with experiences in curling and target sports.

A Guro-gu official said, "We hope this performance will help recall the joys of past days that were momentarily forgotten," and added, "We will continue to carry out various projects for the happy and vibrant lives of the elderly."

The competition for seats was fierce, as all 500 seats prepared were sold out within 40 minutes of the reservation opening. Advance reservations were held on the 27th of last month.
