[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) will hold a relay "2021 Ontact G★KPOP Concert" every Saturday evening at 8 PM throughout May, starting from May 8, featuring 12 K-POP star teams.

The concert can be viewed on YouTube channels "Gangnam-gu Office" and "1theK," as well as the video app "Triller."

Anyone can enjoy the one-hour online performance without restrictions on location or number of viewers. The district completed recording four sessions from May 5 to 7 at the COEX Auditorium.

The MC will be Sandlee. The first stage features GFriend, T1419, and A.C.E. On May 15, Momoland, VERIVERY, and CRAVITY will perform; on May 22, LOONA, Newkidd, and Weeekly; and on May 29, VICTON, LABOUM, and CIPHER will deliver lively online performances.

This event was planned jointly by the district, the Korea International Trade Association, COEX, and local entertainment agencies as part of efforts to "revive the performing arts industry" hit hard by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Last year, the performing arts industry saw a 70% decrease in operating days and a 60% drop in sales compared to the previous year.

The district plans to continuously carry on this project, which utilizes idle local facilities as performance venues, for the performing arts industry, all residents, and Hallyu fans worldwide.

District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun said, "As an 'Ontact Leader,' Gangnam-gu hopes that the '2021 Ontact G★KPOP Concert' will deliver a message of hope and leap forward to people around the world and provide some support to the cultural and performing arts industry."
