Previously, on November 13, the day of the CSAT, the city conducted a joint inspection of youth-harmful environments in cooperation with public and private sectors, as a preventive measure against the increased risk of youth misconduct during this period. This performance was organized as a follow-up initiative to encourage students who finished the exam and to revitalize the local community.

This initiative is significant in that it demonstrates an integrated policy approach that not only protects youth but also expands cultural accessibility and stimulates the local economy.

Talented busking teams "Yongyong Keultae" and "Blue Puppy" participated in the event, presenting music and programs across various genres. On Friday evening, Goeup Square became an "open cultural space," with students and citizens stopping to enjoy the performances.

A city official stated, "We believed it was important to provide warm encouragement to young people who have overcome the major milestone of the CSAT, which is why we prepared this performance." The official added, "Next year, we plan to further expand the scale and programs of the mobile cultural performances so that young people can enjoy culture in their daily lives and the local community can grow together."
