According to Seo-gu on the 25th, ‘Dosi Rak’ is divided into 40 selected art groups through a public contest (second and fourth weeks) and resident autonomous busking (first and third weeks).

Performances will be held every Wednesday at Yeomju Children's Park and Sangmu Citizen Park, and every Saturday from 6:30 PM for 40 minutes at Pungam Lake Park and Gwangju Streamside (Dongcheon-dong).

Seo-gu is expanding street performances to a total of about 130 times to offer more residents the joy and romance of music and to provide cultural artists with opportunities to showcase their talents.

The performances will continuously feature various genres ranging from classical such as acoustic, jazz, Korean traditional music, instrumental performances, and vocal music to popular songs and magic shows loved by children.

More detailed information such as performance schedules and performers can be found on the Seo-gu Office website.

Lee Hyunsun, Director of the Culture and Arts Division, said, “We will spare no support so that residents can enjoy diverse cultures,” and added, “We hope for much interest and participation to create Seo-gu as a cultural city where rest, leisure, and music flow.”
