[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] POSCO announced that it will hold the '2022 Corporate Citizen POSCO Concert 『With your Drama』' on June 18 at the Gwangyang Steelworks Eoullim Gymnasium.

The 'Corporate Citizen Concert' is a cultural event held annually by POSCO to practice its corporate citizen management philosophy for local residents. It has opened a festival stage where employees and local residents can feel pride through various themed performances and lectures.

Although it was temporarily suspended since 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19, it will resume this year as quarantine rules have been relaxed.

This performance, held in a venue with about 1,600 seats, features singers from survival audition programs who dramatically overcame hardships and adversity to reach the top as musicians, in line with the theme 『With your Drama』.

Like a drama, TV music competition program singers Jung Hong-il, Oh Hyun-woo, Mureu, and Seodo Band, who rose from obscurity to fame, deliver messages of comfort and hope to citizens who experienced a long stagnation period due to COVID-19. Special singer Ailee will also join, expected to heat up the concert venue even more.

POSCO plans to invite various neighbors in the region, including Gwangyang Steelworks employees including the MZ generation, Gwangyang citizens, multicultural and disabled families, and culturally marginalized groups, to present the dramatic stories of musicians who never gave up on their dreams.

Free invitation tickets, available up to two per person, can be applied for until June 12 through the POSCO website under the 'PR Channel' - 'Cultural Events' - 'Gwangyang' menu. Children under 7 years old who are not yet in school are restricted from attending.

Winners selected by lottery will be individually notified by text message after 5 PM on June 15, and tickets can be collected at the entrance of the Eoullim Gymnasium from 5 PM on the day of the performance upon identity verification.

Entry starts at 6 PM, and attendees must wear masks in accordance with COVID-19 quarantine rules while enjoying the performance.

Starting with this '2022 Corporate Citizen POSCO Concert 『With your Drama』', POSCO plans to hold another corporate citizen concert in October and will continue to expand diverse cultural performances to reconnect cultural communication with local residents, which was interrupted by COVID-19.
