The ‘Music Station 1939 Outdoor Busking’ is a project that has been ongoing for three years to discover local artists and support their creative activities.

The recruitment target is artists residing in Gapyeong-gun, either individuals or teams, who can perform street performances in fields such as popular music, traditional Korean music (Gugak), Western classical music, and instrumental performances. The evaluation will be conducted through video assessments by a professional judging panel, and the final 60 selected teams will perform once or twice on agreed dates.

Each performance will last 30 minutes, and individual participants will receive a performance fee of 250,000 KRW, while team participants will receive 300,000 KRW. Artists wishing to participate should complete the application form and supporting documents attached to the announcement and submit them via email to the person in charge by February 14.

A Gapyeong-gun official stated, “This outdoor busking will provide local artists with opportunities for creation and performance and serve as a stepping stone for Gapyeong-gun to establish itself as a center of culture and arts. We will do our best to promote the project to offer richer cultural experiences to residents and visitors.”
