Gyeonggi-do to Hold Concert Combining Entertainment and Policy on the 30th

Gyeonggi Province will hold the first concert of ‘SML (Special Moment in Life) Gyeonggi,’ a combination of entertainment and policy, at Dasan Hall in the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Building on the 30th.

‘SML Gyeonggi’ is a type of music talk show that blends singing and conversation. It departs from the traditional one-way information delivery method by promoting policies through situations and dialogues within a comedic skit universe that evokes laughter.

The program name was inspired by ‘SNL Korea,’ famous for its skits and parodies.

Since April, ‘SML Gyeonggi’ has been delivering key policies of the 8th Gyeonggi Province administration as well as topics of interest to residents through the Gyeonggi Provincial Government’s YouTube channel. Comedian Jeong Tae-ho and Lee Ji from the idol group ‘iChillin’ host the show, inviting talented musicians each episode for live performances and interviews, highlighting artists.

This performance will feature selected artists from the 24 teams that appeared on the program, chosen by viewer votes: singer-songwriters Shin Yumi and Na-gyeom, known for their explosive vocal power and participants of JTBC’s ‘Sing Again’; the Ash Band, which blends jazz and groove; YU2Picky, a band fusing hip-hop and rock sounds; the four-member vocal group WeNU; and the emotional ballad duo Mind U.

Residents wishing to attend can make reservations on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 2 p.m. on the 19th of this month through the Kakao reservation page. The concert is free of charge, with a total of about 350 seats available, including 200 reserved seats and seats for winners of the voting event.

For residents unable to attend in person, the concert will be broadcast live on the Gyeonggi Provincial Government’s YouTube channel on the day of the event.

A Gyeonggi Province official stated, "This concert is especially meaningful because viewers (residents) supported the musicians and directly participated in deciding the performers." They added, "It will be a special stage that provides new opportunities for local artists and expands cultural enjoyment opportunities for residents."
