[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] DGB Daegu Bank, celebrating its 55th anniversary, will hold the ‘Open Plaza Busking’ where local buskers compete to select a winner, aiming to expand support for regional culture and arts.

This busking competition will take place over two months, August and September, with preliminaries and a repechage round held every two weeks, culminating in a final round in October to determine the ultimate winner.

Local singers and musicians, as well as the general public, are eligible to participate, and anyone capable of performing busking can join.

The preliminaries will be held four times every other Thursday from the 4th of this month to the 15th of next month. Each preliminary round will feature 6 teams, totaling 24 teams competing, with one winning team from each round advancing to the finals.

After the finalists are selected, a repechage round will be held on the 29th of next month, where the 2nd and 3rd place teams from each preliminary round will get another chance to compete. Four teams will be chosen from this round, making a total of 8 teams for the final busking competition on October 4th.

The busking performances will take place at the Open Plaza of the Suseong-dong main branch, and anyone from the local community can attend the performances.

Judges including professional music PDs and broadcasting writers from related industries will evaluate the performances. Scores will be determined by a combination of judges’ evaluations, decibel measurements of audience cheers on the day of the preliminaries, and on-site popularity voting.

Four teams will be selected in total: one grand prize winner, one excellence award winner, and two merit award winners. All stages will be uploaded to the official DGB Daegu Bank YouTube channel for viewing.

The grand prize winner will receive a prize of 3 million KRW and will also perform on the stage of DGB Daegu Bank’s 55th anniversary celebration on October 7th.

A DGB Daegu Bank official stated, “After 15 years since opening, we have renovated the Open Plaza to better communicate with customers and are promoting the Open Plaza Busking performance as part of revitalizing the plaza and supporting local culture and arts activities.”
