Gwangjin-gu to Hold Healing Program for Residents Exhausted by COVID-19 from 21 to 27... 'Drive-In Concert' Enjoyed from Cars Also Held on 28 at Children's Hall Outdoor Parking Lot

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) will hold the ‘Gwangjin Residents Healing Project’ from the 21st to the 28th to heal the hearts of residents tired from COVID-19 through art.

Hosted by the Gwangjin Cultural Foundation and sponsored by Gwangjin-gu, this ‘Gwangjin Residents Healing Project’ is a performance program for residents who find it difficult to enjoy cultural activities due to COVID-19. It consists of ‘A Walk Around the Neighborhood,’ enjoyed from apartment balconies and inside homes, and a ‘Drive-in Concert,’ enjoyed from inside cars.

‘A Walk Around the Neighborhood’ is a non-face-to-face program where local artists visit apartment complexes and nearby parks in each neighborhood to perform, and residents watch while maintaining social distancing from their apartment balconies or inside their homes.

Eleven teams of ‘Gwangjin-gu Good Artists,’ recruited from local artists in Gwangjin-gu last April, will participate in this performance, touring 15 neighborhoods from the 21st to the 27th, presenting various stages such as acoustic guitar, popera, and musicals.

Performance details and locations can be checked on the morning of the performance day at 10 a.m. via the Gwangjin Cultural Foundation’s Instagram (@naruartcenter).

Additionally, on the 28th at 7:30 p.m., a ‘Drive-in Concert’ that the whole family can enjoy from inside their cars will be held at the outdoor parking lot of the Children’s Hall.

The performance will feature singer ‘Chaeyeon,’ rock ballad singer Kim Seong-myeon (K2), baritone Kim Dong-gyu, and jazz vocalist Go Ara, offering a diverse stage.

Admission to the ‘Drive-in Concert’ is limited to those who make a prior reservation, which can be made by calling the Gwangjin Cultural Foundation.

The ‘Gwangjin Residents Healing Project’ is free for everyone to watch, and all programs will be conducted in compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as social distancing, health questionnaires, and temperature checks.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “As COVID-19 prolongs, the mental illness called ‘Corona Blue’ has become a social issue. We have prepared a small gift for residents to heal their tired bodies and minds, so I hope everyone safely observes social distancing while watching the performances and has a healing time.”
