Following the ceremony, the Buk-gu Residents' Autumn Night Concert will feature congratulatory performances by invited singers such as Jeong Dong-won and Nam Seung-min, who will enliven the residents and allow them to enjoy the romance of the autumn night.

Additionally, a photo exhibition titled 'Buk-gu Digital Archive,' featuring about 300 photos on the themes of Buk-gu's birth, transformation, and people, will be held. Various events such as neighborhood promotions and experience booths will also be prepared.

A Buk-gu official stated, "Buk-gu is a righteous city that puts the greater good first, and at its center has always been the residents," adding, "We hope this commemorative event for the proud residents of Buk-gu will enhance their pride and unity and serve as an opportunity to open a new future together."
