[Asia Economy Reporter Song Hwajeong] IBK Industrial Bank of Korea announced on the 19th that it held the 'IBK After-Work Music Live' on the 12th at the sunken garden next to the IBK headquarters in Euljiro, Seoul.

This event was initiated by President Yoon Jong-won’s idea to fulfill the role of a corporate citizen by providing opportunities for citizens exhausted from the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic to enjoy culture and arts, and offering performance opportunities to musicians whose activities have been restricted.

With the theme of overseas travel, this event was held as a 'Mamma Mia Special' to capture the emotions of a musical journey to New York Broadway. Actors Kim Hyun-sook, who appeared in musicals such as 'Man of La Mancha' and 'The Last Empress,' Joo Ah, who passionately played the role of Rose Bertin in 'Marie Antoinette,' and Oh Ki-ppeum, who charmingly portrayed the role of Rosie in 'Mamma Mia,' graced the stage.

IBK plans to continue hosting the IBK After-Work Music Live until August. Along with chamber music and jazz performances, stages for indie bands are also prepared, and each month will feature various themes such as 'Calm music to listen to at a camping site' and 'Exciting music suitable for summer vacation.'

An IBK official said, "We plan to hold music live events where people can enjoy various genres such as classical, jazz, and pop music," adding, "We hope this will provide some support to musicians struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic."
