Among the UK scout delegation who left early from the ‘2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree,’ talented and lively members showcased their skills and passion on the evening of the 8th at ‘Hongdae Red Road,’ Korea’s representative youth street.

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) announced that 12 teams from the UK delegation held a ‘Special Busking Performance by UK Scout Members’ at Hongdae Red Road (R4 event zone) from 7 PM to 10 PM on the 8th.

The district organized this busking event not only for the UK scout members but also to allow many domestic and international tourists visiting Red Road to enjoy and create joyful memories of a summer night in Mapo, Korea, by adding diverse content such as idol performances and magic shows.

On that day, about 1,500 UK Jamboree participants passionately enjoyed the performances prepared by the district, and some members even took the stage themselves to sing and dance, filling Hongdae Red Road with heat and energy.

This busking performance was a cultural and artistic experience program immediately planned and promoted by the district upon receiving the news that the UK delegation members wished to perform busking in Hongdae, a world-renowned tourist destination.

Additionally, the district plans to support various experiential programs such as Nanta, B-boy performances, and traditional Korean music (Gugak) for the Jamboree participants’ K-culture experience, as well as safe accommodations.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “Just as the word ‘Jamboree’ means joyful play and a pleasant festival, we will fully support so that young people from around the world visiting Mapo-gu can enjoy and have a delightful experience with Mapo-gu’s diverse culture, arts, and tourism programs leading K-culture.”
