First, the event opened with an energetic performance by the senior Nanta club ‘Ondal and Pyeonggang.’ Following that, Ms. Choi Jeong-hee, a woman in her 70s who raised three grandchildren and fulfilled her dream of becoming a singer by releasing music, passionately sang.

Afterwards, dazzling stages by professional performers and celebrities were presented. With the cheerful hosting of comedian Shim Hyun-seop, various genres such as fusion gugak (traditional Korean music), B-boy, and trot delighted the eyes and ears of the audience.

In particular, the atmosphere was heightened with exciting performances by Hwang Min-ho and Kim Da-hyun, who gained fame through trot audition programs, and Park Hyun-bin, who has numerous hit songs.

The audience shared their impressions, saying, “I was deeply moved by the passionate performances of the seniors,” and “It was a happy time laughing and enjoying with neighbors living in the same neighborhood.”

Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “I hope today’s music festival was a restful time to put aside the busy and hectic daily life and find some leisure,” adding, “We will continue to create various opportunities for communication and harmony through culture and the arts.”
