The opening ceremony will take place on July 8 at 5 p.m., starting with a live painting by Artime Joe, a leading first-generation domestic street art artist (graffiti artist), followed by a reinterpretation of traditional Korean dance movements by the youth art group “Teul Edition,” and a special joint performance combining electronic music (DJ) and traditional folk songs.

Built by stacking 27 containers in front of Sasang Station on Metro Line 2, Sasang Indie Station consists of two buildings with three above-ground floors. Since its opening in July 2013, it has established itself as Busan’s representative youth indie culture hub where visitors can experience diverse performances, exhibitions, and youth cultural programs. This year, it continues to promote planned and regular performances, space activation programs such as “Short-form Classes” and “Composition Classes,” as well as rental projects.

Nam Jeongeun, Director of the Youth Industry-Academia Division of the city, said, “On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Sasang Indie Station, I hope people can enjoy street art, b-boying, skateboarding, and more with domestic and international artists, which are usually hard to experience.” She added, “We will continue to do our best to ensure that Sasang Indie Station becomes a beloved and frequently visited youth culture hub representing Busan.”
