"Coexisting with Musicians" KT&G Launches Performance Venue Rental Fee Support Program

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] KT&G announced on the 8th that it will carry out the '2022 Mutual Growth Performance Venue Rental Fee Support' program to help musicians struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

First, a 30% discount on the rental fee for the Sangsangmadang Hongdae 'Live Hall' will be provided. The discount can be used in March, April, June, July, September, and October, excluding months where planning and venue rental performances are already scheduled. To receive support, the venue rental contract must be signed by April 30.

Additionally, from March to December, all musicians using the Live Hall will be provided free of charge with additional equipment (in-ear monitors, multi-track recording), a dedicated internet line for online performance streaming, and full HD resolution performance recording video (up to 120 minutes), which were previously offered for a fee.

Applications can be downloaded from the KT&G Sangsangmadang website and submitted via email. Afterward, a site inspection of the venue will be conducted through prior schedule coordination, and the final decision on venue rental will be made.

Shim Young-ah, Head of KT&G Social Contribution Office, said, "While considering what realistic support could be for musicians who have few opportunities to perform on stage due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we planned the venue rental fee discount project."
