Featuring 90 Minutes of Diverse Performances with Son Tae-jin, The Bliss Korea, Massacrew, and More... Seocho Mayor Jeon Seong-su: "We Will Continue to Bring Warm Year-End Moments and Enable Cultural Experiences in Daily Life Next Year"

‘A city where daily life becomes art, and art becomes daily life’ Seocho-gu decorates the finale of themed cultural and artistic festivals throughout all four seasons.

Seocho-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) will hold the year-end concert ‘Christmas in Seocho’ at 7 p.m. on the 22nd, Dongji Day, at the Seocho Cultural and Arts Center.

The district initially chose the newly opened concept complex cultural facility Yangjae Public Parking Lot, which opened last September, as the festival venue, but changed it to the Seocho Cultural Center due to the cold weather.

The festival theme is ‘A Year-End Gift from Seocho.’ The performance will last about 90 minutes and will be enriched with various genres including ▲Musical Gala Show ▲Carol Medley ▲B-boying ▲Son Tae-jin’s Mini Concert.

First, the mixed-gender Dream Musical Team’s gala show will begin. Following that, the 7-member swing jazz band Doubleis Korea will perform a carol medley, the street dance-based team Massacrew will present an exciting b-boying performance, and the finale will be marked by Son Tae-jin, a Phantom Singer winning team member and winner of Burning Trotman, with his mini concert.

For the safety of the audience and smooth progress of the event, traffic will be controlled from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the day of the event on Nonhyeon-ro 27-gil (about 180m) and the west road of Biseok Park (about 60m).

Additionally, the district has prepared a response manual for unexpected situations to ensure everyone enjoys the festival safely, and safety management personnel will be deployed throughout the area to prevent accidents caused by crowds.

Meanwhile, since April this year, the district has held seasonal and themed festivals: in spring, the ‘Spring Night Classic Festival’ at Bangbae Dwitbeol Park; in June, the summer festival ‘Seocho Music and Art Festival’ at Seoul Express Bus Terminal; and in September, the ‘Seoripul Festival’ held on Banpo-daero for the first time in four years, attracting a total of 130,000 participants and receiving enthusiastic responses.

Jeon Seong-su, Mayor of Seocho-gu, said, “I hope this ‘Christmas in Seocho’ will gift everyone a warm winter with music,” and added, “Next year, we will continue to create Seocho as a high-quality cultural and artistic city where the scent of culture flows in everyday life.”
