'Contactless Cultural Package' for a Safe and Enjoyable Chuseok in Yangcheon-gu?

Yangcheon Cultural Foundation Provides Non-Face-to-Face Cultural and Artistic Content for Chuseok... 24-Hour Streaming Video Service Including Monthly Musique Performances During the Holiday, 5 Sessions of Anyangcheon Car Outdoor Theater Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The Chuseok holiday is approaching. This year, many people have decided not to visit their hometowns due to the impact of COVID-19. To help residents who are wondering, "How can I make the most of the 5-day holiday?" Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) announced that it has prepared a cultural and artistic gift set called the "Non-face-to-face Culture Package."

The Yangcheon Cultural Foundation has planned to provide cultural and artistic content such as performances, movies, and literature online during the Chuseok holiday period, allowing families to enjoy them together both online and offline.

The prepared culture package consists of two parts: the "Binge-watch Video Bundle Service Starting Today" and the "Return of the Drive-in Theater."

The "Binge-watch Video Bundle Service Starting Today," available from September 30 to October 11, will stream four monthly Musique performance videos held by the Yangcheon Cultural Foundation this year, along with humanities video programs from the Yangcheon-gu Public Library, 24 hours a day. Online performances including traditional Korean music (gugak), jazz, fusion reggae, and children's plays are prepared for families to enjoy together.

If you missed any performances, you can watch them during the holiday period on the Yangcheon Cultural Foundation channels on Naver TV and YouTube.

The drive-in theater will also be held. From October 2 to 3, five screenings will be held over two days, featuring animation, ballet performances, musical films, and plays. Building on the great response to the "Drive-in Theater" held last April to relieve the mental fatigue of residents tired from social distancing, the district plans to expand cultural enjoyment opportunities for residents once again with the "Return of the Drive-in Theater."

The drive-in theater screenings will take place at Haemaru Soccer Field (Sinjeong 2-dong 871-4) next to Anyangcheon Ecological Park. Reservations are available on a first-come, first-served basis for up to 100 cars per screening through the Yangcheon-gu Office website integrated reservation system until 6 p.m. on the 29th. Screenings will include the ballet performance "Giselle" and the play "Old Couple Story," both streamed from the Seoul Arts Center project "Sac On Screen," as well as family-friendly animated films "Frozen 2," "Aladdin," and "The Greatest Showman."

Admission is free, and entry is allowed one hour before the screening.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "In the atmosphere of refraining from travel for everyone's health and safety this Chuseok, we have prepared a variety of cultural and artistic performances so that people can enjoy diverse cultural activities while staying at home. We hope everyone heals their weary hearts from COVID-19 with beautiful videos, music, and performances and feel the deepening autumn."
