[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Seongnam Cultural Foundation announced on the 11th that it will hold the ‘2022 Park Concert’ for seven weeks from the 20th of this month to October 1st.

First introduced in 2012, the ‘Park Concert’ is a program that showcases various genres of music including classical, pop, folk, rock, and hip-hop on an outdoor stage in the city center on weekends. It is Seongnam’s representative performance attracting an average of 10,000 spectators each time, and this year’s concert is being held for the first time in three years due to the impact of COVID-19.

This concert series will begin on the 20th with the emotional band Jannabi, followed by performances from musicians Jung Jae-hyung and the Kim Chang-wan Band on the 27th.

On October 3rd, a quintet led by jazz pianist Song Young-joo will present a jazz stage suited to the early autumn mood together with singer Ali. A stage by singer Sunwoo Jung-a, who interprets various genres in her own style, is also prepared.

On September 10th, legends of the Korean music scene, Jung Hoon-hee and Choi Baek-ho, will visit the Park Concert. The ‘romantic minstrel’ Choi Baek-ho is expected to deliver a splendid collaboration with Korea’s top gypsy guitarist Park Joo-won.

Additionally, on September 17th, the Go Sang-ji Trio, Mother Vibe, and singer Ji Soul will showcase a fantastic ensemble blending bandoneon and vibraphone, and on September 24th, singer-songwriter duo Norifly and indie band Soran will perform.

Finally, on October 1st, the domestic representative band Jaurim, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the contemporary dance group Ambiguous Dance Company, which is gaining worldwide attention for K-performance, and jazz band JSFA will close the ‘2022 Park Concert’.

The foundation will also present the outdoor concert ‘2022 Picnic Concert,’ where the heat of midsummer nights can be enjoyed even more intensely.

Held on the 12th and 13th at the outdoor performance venue in Seongnam City’s 1st Industrial Complex Neighborhood Park (in front of Dandae Five-way Intersection), the ‘Picnic Concert’ is a concert that citizens of Seongnam’s Sujeong and Jungwon districts can enjoy like a picnic near their homes, loved across generations from 70s and 80s singers to idols.

On the 12th, Jang Pil-soon, the ‘Empress of Folk Music’ with a husky voice, and Bicycle Riding Scenery, the epitome of Korean folk groups, will sing their vivid emotions. On the 13th, Kim Da-hyun, Park Sang-woo, Lee Sung-guk, and Park Gu-yoon, who have been active in various competition programs and are loved as national trot singers, will color the summer night refreshingly.
