Collaboration Program of Munjang-ui Sori × Soso Salon Held

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Korea Arts & Culture Education Service (hereinafter Arts Council Korea) announced on the 14th that it will hold a collaborative performance with two programs: the literary plaza 'Sound of Sentences' and the Seoul Arts Center's 'Soso Salon.'

'Soso Salon with Lee Youngju & Koo Tae-woo' is the second collaborative program between the two organizations this year, following 'Soso Salon with Choi Jinyoung & Kang Asol' held in November 2021.

'Soso Salon' is a talk program of the Seoul Arts Center Academy, designed to have casual and candid conversations with artists. Since November 2020, it has invited artists and creative staff from various genres to meet audiences once a month.

The topic of this talk is 'Between Youngju and Tae-woo.' It will introduce how the two poets, who originally met as mentor and mentee, have walked their own creative journeys and how they write poetry and lyrics, along with specific examples of their work.

Additionally, through the songs and performances of special guest poet Kang Baeksu, attendees will hear how creators active in different genres are expanding their creative domains.

'Sound of Sentences' is the oldest internet literary radio program, started in 2005, with over 700 writers invited as guests so far. Every Wednesday through a podcast, it offers readers the opportunity to hear the authors' thoughts on their works and life directly in their voices, and provides authors a platform to meet readers through their voices rather than just their writing.

Run by authors who plan, direct, and host the program themselves, 'Sound of Sentences' has been hosted by widely beloved literary figures such as Han Kang, Lee Kiho, Kim Junghyuk, Hwang Jungeun, and Choi Jinyoung. Since April this year, it has been hosted by poet Lee Youngju (host), novelist Kim Bom (director), novelist Kwon Hyeyoung (scriptwriter), and poet Choi Jieun (scriptwriter).

Tickets for the program can be reserved through the Seoul Arts Center website, Interpark Ticket, and YES24 Ticket.
