[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu continues cultural performances at Seokchon Lake, a representative landmark of Seoul, to comfort the weary daily lives of residents and provide various attractions for visitors.

First, the district resumes the 'Seokchon Lake Busking,' which had been suspended due to COVID-19.

Twenty teams selected through an open call will participate, meeting audiences with diverse cultural genres such as popular songs, pop, classical, fusion gugak, and popera.

The performances will be held at the central waterside stage of Seokchon Lake East Lake every Friday and Saturday from 5 PM to 8 PM, with two teams performing each day, continuing until June 25.

Traditional cultural performances will take place at Seoul Nori Madang, located at Seokchon Lake West Lake.

Seoul Nori Madang is Seoul's only traditional culture specialized performance space, hosting regular performances every Saturday and Sunday at 3 PM until June 26.

Visitors can experience Songpa Sandae Nori, a nationally designated intangible cultural asset, Namdo folk songs, and various traditional instrument performances.

Both performances are free for everyone to watch, and detailed schedules may change depending on the performing teams' circumstances.

A district official stated, “Through these performances, we hope to provide a stage for cultural artists whose opportunities have decreased and offer residents a time to heal their bodies and minds through culture and arts,” adding, “We will continue to prepare programs where residents and cultural artists can directly participate to create a Songpa-gu where culture becomes part of everyday life.”
