Busan Gijang County to Open 'Gijang Imrang Summer Music Festival' at Imrang Beach on the 15th

Singing Contest, Youth Song Festival, and Fireworks Show
on a 1km Pine Forest Beach

Gijang County in Busan (County Governor Jung Jongbok) will host the '2025 Gijang Imrang Summer Music Festival' at Imrang Beach over two days, August 15 and 16.

This festival, set against the backdrop of a 1-kilometer white sand beach and pine forest with clear skies, a horizon, and gentle waves, will offer a summer night beach stage where 'music, people, and generations' come together. Designed as an Oneness-style festival, it invites both residents and tourists to enjoy a unique atmosphere where the beach and stage become one.

This year, the scope of participation has been expanded. Instead of the previous 'Children's Song Contest,' there will be the 'Imrang Beach Singing Contest,' which all generations can enjoy together. The 'University Song Festival' has also been expanded into the 'Korea Youth Song Festival.' New programs linked to local tourism resources have been introduced to encourage longer stays and stimulate the local economy.

On the first day, August 15, the 'Imrang Beach Singing Contest' will showcase the talents and stories of Gijang County residents. On the following day, August 16, the 'Korea Youth Song Festival' will feature young people aged 19 to 34 from across the country as the stars of the stage. Participants for both programs are selected through preliminary auditions.

The performance lineup is also impressive. The opening concert, 'Imrang Illang,' will feature Yang Jieun, Kwak Younggwang, Kim Yuseon, and Tae Nami, lighting up the first night. The closing concert, 'Youth Imrang,' will see Cyburger, Gamtuiz, Aplus, and DJ Mino energize the stage. The festival will conclude with the fireworks performance 'Firebird Soaring,' illuminating the summer night sea.

There will also be a wide range of hands-on activities. Programs such as beach ball and beach bag making, a water park, photo zones, a beach walking contest, a beach live cafe, and local specialty product booths will be offered, tailored to different generations and connected to the local community, to enhance visitor satisfaction.

County Governor Jung Jongbok said, "This festival will be a place where both residents and tourists become one in a summer celebration," adding, "I hope everyone will create special memories by enjoying performances and experiences on the beautiful Imrang Beach."
