Seoripul Festival Held Last Year

Seocho District (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) has begun preparations for the largest festival in Seocho, the ‘2024 Seoripul Festival,’ which will take place from September 28 to 29 around Seocho Station subway area to the Seoul Arts Center.

Last month on the 27th, the district held a steering committee meeting on the 5th floor conference room of the district office to ensure the successful hosting of Seocho’s representative festival, the ‘Seoripul Festival.’

The steering committee included 26 heads of various institutions from public organizations such as Seocho and Bangbae Police Stations responsible for order and safety, arts organizations including the Seoul Arts Center and National Gugak Center, as well as leaders from business, medical, youth, and religious sectors, who proposed diverse ideas for a successful festival.

The meeting focused on discussing ▲detailed programs and operational plans ▲collaboration methods with the local community ▲safety management measures ▲promotion strategies.

The steering committee will continue to play a central role in festival preparations and aims to create a rich and meaningful festival through communication with residents.

The festival’s general director will be Song Seung-eun, the younger brother of director Song Seung-hwan who created the internationally acclaimed Korean percussion performance Nanta. Song Seung-eun is a veteran director with experience including directing the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the 2019 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics commemorative fashion show and concert, the 2019 Jongno Hanbok Festival, and successfully directing last year’s Seoripul Festival.

The 2024 Seoripul Festival will be held under the theme ‘Seocho is the music! Seocho is music, A to Z (everything about music),’ featuring various genre performances and participatory programs showcasing all aspects of Seocho as a cultural and artistic city.

Seocho Mayor Jeon Seong-su said, “Starting with the Seoripul Festival steering committee meeting, we will make every effort to prepare the festival thoroughly, collaborate with the local community, and create a festival that everyone can enjoy, ensuring it is safe and successful.”
