[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seocho-gu is recruiting 35 youth artist teams from various genres to participate in the '2022 Traveling Flower Seat Concert' until the 20th.

The 'Traveling Flower Seat Concert' is a performance where young artists visit outdoor cultural spaces within the district such as parks, plazas, and streets to present various genres of music including classical, jazz, K-POP, and gugak to the residents. Started in 2018, the Flower Seat Concert is now in its fifth year, with a total of 280 teams and 1,078 participants up to last year.

The recruitment target is youth artist performance groups aged 19 to 39. Any performance team capable of performing outdoors in genres such as classical, jazz, K-POP, bands, and gugak can apply.

The selected performance teams in this recruitment will be provided with performance opportunities from June to November, with a performance fee support of 200,000 KRW per person and up to 800,000 KRW per team, along with support for performance stages and sound equipment.

The district will hold a judging committee this month to select the final 35 teams by comprehensively considering performance capability, artistic quality, and audience communication skills after the first document screening and second video screening.

Additionally, in the second half of the year, the district plans to hold a 'Music Delivery Concert' where youth artists will deliver surprise music gifts to families, acquaintances, and colleagues based on story requests directly received from residents. At the end of the year, the district will also operate the 'Flower Seat Closing Festival (tentative name)' by selecting 10 outstanding performance teams that participated in this year's Flower Seat Concert.

Cheon Jeong-wook, Acting Mayor of Seocho-gu, stated, “We will continue to provide opportunities for young artists to fully showcase their talents and offer cultural enjoyment opportunities to residents, striving to make Seocho a city where culture and arts breathe life into everyday life.”
