Composer Yoon Il-sang

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Musicians including composer Yoon Il-sang, singer Lee Eun-mi, and guitarist Shin Dae-chul have expressed their support for Park Kyung-mi, the Democratic Party of Korea candidate for Seocho District Eul.

In a declaration of support on the 30th, they stated, “Although the Seocho Eul area has many cultural and artistic infrastructures such as the Seoul Arts Center, Korea National University of Arts, and the Cultural Music District, these have not been effectively connected or utilized, and practical support for artists has been insufficient. Candidate Park Kyung-mi is the right person to develop Seocho into a ‘Cultural and Arts Special Zone,’ communicate with popular musicians, and support their artistic activities.”

They included Kim Young-soo (singer, Mujungryeok Sonyeon), Kim Elisa (bassist), Lia (singer), Ahn Ji-hoon (guitarist), MC Meta (singer, rapper), Lee Shi-ha (singer, member of The Cross), and Heo Dong-hyuk (composer and arranger).

They added, “Candidate Park Kyung-mi has promised to create a world-class design ‘Cultural and Arts Performance Hall’ and a ‘Cultural and Arts Trail’ on the former Intelligence Service site,” and expressed expectations that “once the performance hall and trail are established in Seocho, residents will be able to enjoy culture and arts in their daily lives, and artists will be able to engage in more creative activities.”

They also said, “Candidate Park Kyung-mi served as a member of the Education, Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee in the 20th National Assembly, working to resolve the cultural blacklist incident, and has led efforts to improve the treatment of artists who have been unfairly treated and to promote policies for enhancing artists’ welfare.”

Candidate Park stated, “I have prepared various pledges to culturally enrich Seocho,” and pledged, “I will create a Seocho where both residents and cultural artists are happy.”
