Naju City in South Jeolla Province announced on July 28 that the "KBS National Singing Contest Naju Edition," which was recorded at Yeongsangang Garden last May, will be broadcast nationwide on KBS1 at 12:10 PM on August 3.

This broadcast is a public recording held in Naju for the first time in eight years since 2017. On the day of the recording, more than 3,000 citizens and visitors participated, showcasing the excitement and passion of Naju and creating an enthusiastic atmosphere.

On stage, 15 teams selected through local preliminaries performed songs and various performances across different genres. The atmosphere was further elevated by congratulatory performances from invited singers such as Kim Seonghwan, Park Seojin, and Yoon Suhyun.

The recording took place at Yeongsangang Garden, which serves as the base for the "Yeongsangang Renaissance" project, a key initiative of the 8th popularly elected administration.

This location is an ecological garden where nature and culture blend together, and it is currently being developed as a representative attraction of Naju with the goal of being designated a national garden.

Naju Mayor Yoon Byungtae said, "I hope the broadcast of the National Singing Contest will be an opportunity to widely promote Naju's cultural and ecological tourism resources nationwide," and added, "In particular, I ask for your interest and visits to the '2025 Naju Yeongsangang Festival,' which will be held at Yeongsangang Garden from October 8 to 12."
