The signing ceremony, held on the 20th at the Seoul Arts Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul, was attended by Jang Hyung-jun, President of the Seoul Arts Center, Kim Jin-hae, CEO of the Busan Cinema Center, and officials from both organizations.

The agreement includes cooperation in △ discovering content and hosting performance video projects to expand opportunities for citizens to enjoy culture △ mutual exchange of excellent content to broaden the base of culture and arts △ and other mutual exchanges related to cultural projects organized by both institutions.

This year, the Seoul Arts Center collaborated with the Busan Cinema Center to live broadcast the ‘2023 Symphony Festival,’ which was successfully held in June, on the outdoor screen at the Busan Cinema Center. Over 6,400 Busan audience members were able to enjoy the concert hall performance in Seoul in real time.

The live broadcast of all performances of the ‘Symphony Festival,’ attempted for the first time this year, was evaluated as a meaningful live transmission that conveyed the excitement of the event to local audiences in real time.

Starting with this outdoor live broadcast, both institutions plan to continuously strive to provide opportunities for citizens to enjoy culture and to promote the value of expanding the cultural and artistic base.

Jang Hyung-jun, President of the Seoul Arts Center, said, “I hope this MOU will serve as a stepping stone for both institutions to grow and develop further together. We will also actively work to establish continuous mutual cooperation programs to greatly contribute to the revitalization of regional culture.”
