Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Soon-hee) will hold the "Suyu-ro Busking Journey" every Saturday throughout September around Sangsan Children's Park in Suyu-dong as part of the Suyu local brand enhancement project.

This event will serve as a pre-event for the "WHAT Suyu Festa," which will be held over two days on September 27 and 28 within the Suyu commercial district, aiming to build anticipation for the festival and provide various attractions.

The Suyu-ro Busking Journey will be held four times in total, starting on the 7th of next month, then on the 14th, 21st, and 28th, each with a unique theme every week.

The first busking event on September 7 at 3 PM will be themed "DJ Journey," featuring DJ MAV, a DJ YouTuber known for comfortable and emotional music. On the 14th, from 3 PM for two hours, the "Gourmet Journey" will include vocal busking by Jeon Sol-bi and Go Woo-hyun, a tasting session by Chef Park Jung-woo, and a lecture on the recipe development story of the Suyu commercial district.

The third busking event on the 21st, themed "Dance Journey," will promote "Energetic Suyu" through performances by a foreign dance team and a random play dance collaboration with KBS's representative YouTube content, "Dingga Dingga Studio." The final busking event on the 28th, starting at 5 PM, will be themed "Circus Journey," featuring a unique circus performance accompanied by cocktails. The Breakers Art Company, scheduled to perform that day, is recognized as the first domestic circus group to combine rhythmic music and movements of breaking into circus performances, making them a standout performance team.

The Suyu commercial district (around Nohae-ro 8ga-gil) has been conducting various events and projects to establish its unique characteristics under the slogan "People and Culture Flow. Suyu Flowing" since being selected for the Seoul local brand enhancement contest in March last year. Seoul City and Gangbuk-gu plan to support up to 1.5 billion KRW over three years until next year to revitalize the Suyu commercial district.

This year marks the second year of the local brand enhancement project, with plans to lead commercial district revitalization by holding the "WHAT Suyu Festa" and its pre-event, "Suyu-ro Busking," allowing citizens to explore the diverse charms of the Suyu commercial district.

Mayor Lee Soon-hee stated, "Through this busking event, we plan to give the Suyu commercial district a travel concept and provide people with various attractions," adding, "We will continue to do our best to make the Suyu commercial district a representative commercial area in the northeastern region of Seoul."
