[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyung] With the sponsorship of JB Financial Group Jeonbuk Bank (President Im Yong-taek), the membership academy ‘1st JB Culture Salon’ operated at JB Cultural Space held its opening ceremony on the 13th, marking the start of 2020.

Opened in November last year, JB Cultural Space is a cultural and artistic sharing practice space established by Jeonbuk Bank for the residents of Jeonbuk Province.

It provides high-quality and diverse programs such as performances and lectures free of charge to Jeonbuk Bank card members and cultural space members, and offers various cultural services including free rental of spaces and facilities such as lounges, small meeting rooms, multipurpose halls, music listening rooms, and rooftop.

The event was held in two parts. In the first part, members active in various fields of Jeonbuk Province and Jeonbuk Bank executives and employees attended to celebrate the opening, promote friendship among members, and introduce this year’s programs. The second part featured a congratulatory performance by Yoon Hyung-ju, singer of the 1970s folk music leader groups Sseseebong and Twin Folio.

‘JB Culture Salon’ will start with a jazz class on the 15th and conduct full-scale lectures in the first half of this year with instructors composed of top experts in musical, classical music, and art fields. Additionally, it is structured as an experiential program where participants can visit art sites such as performances, exhibitions, and concerts to experience them more vividly up close.

Upcoming open programs include ‘JB Lectures’ advocating ‘Humanities in Daily Life,’ a 70s and 80s concert by acoustic guitarist Lim Ji-hoon, a stand-up comedy show talk by the godfather of standing comedy Jeon Yoo-sung, and musical director Park Kal-lin’s ‘Musical A to Z, from Production to Performance.’ ‘JB Cultural Performances’ are expected to deliver vivid emotions that can only be enjoyed in small theaters, where artists and audiences breathe closely together.
