Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 7th that it will hold the "Korea-China-Japan Traditional Costume Fashion Show" tomorrow around 6 p.m. at the French Garden within Suncheonman National Garden.

Co-hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Suncheon City, and Kim Hye-sun Hanbok Workshop, this event will feature popular cultural artists such as Chae Shi-ra, Lee Bo-hee, and Oh Jung-hae, along with 16 citizen models selected through a public contest in July, dancers, and professional models, all showcasing the beauty of traditional costumes from the three countries.

As part of the "2021 East Asia Cultural City" project, this fashion show will focus on traditional costumes from the three countries, including master Kim Hye-sun's Hanbok, the Chinese traditional costume "Qipao," and the Japanese traditional costume "Kimono."

Opening with a performance by Ensemble Sinawi, the fashion show will feature Gugak artist Oh Jung-hae's vocalizations and performances by professional dancers, a segment called "A Royal Garden Outing" showcasing court attire, and "A Place of Harmony," where traditional costumes from China and Japan blend together. Additionally, performances by Obangshin and Shin Seung-tae, as well as a finale featuring popular singer Ali and dancers, are planned.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, on-site audience attendance will be limited, and the event will be conducted in a hybrid format with both in-person and online participation via live streaming on Suncheon City's and Donga TV's YouTube channels.

A city official stated, "In celebration of the 2021 East Asia Cultural City, we are holding a fashion show themed on traditional costumes embodying the spirit of Korea, China, and Japan. As this is an event involving direct participation from Suncheon citizens, we ask for the enthusiastic interest of all citizens."

Meanwhile, following this event, the East Asia Cultural City project plans to hold the East Asia Youth Arts Festival (November 6-7) and a closing ceremony (November 19-20) to conclude the exchange projects.
