BNK Financial Group will invite the Busan Ballet Theater for its December 'Play on BNK' cultural performance. The event will take place on December 17 at the Ocean Hall in the headquarters of Busan Bank.

'Play on BNK' is a free monthly program designed to provide citizens with opportunities to experience a variety of cultural content in their daily lives. Since its launch in August 2024, the program has expanded its genres to include classical music, Korean traditional music, comedy, film, and lectures, attracting over 6,200 attendees to date.

The 20th performance will feature "The Nutcracker" to match the year-end atmosphere. The show will be held at 7 p.m. on December 17. The Busan Ballet Theater will participate, with Artistic Director Jung Seongbok playing the Nutcracker Prince and ballerina Choi Suyeon taking the lead role of Clara.

Tickets can be reserved for free through Busan Bank’s mobile banking app from 5 p.m. on December 8 until December 16. Attendees can choose between assigned and unassigned seating, but for efficient management, anyone entering within 10 minutes of the performance start will be guided to seats without distinction.

A BNK Financial Group representative stated, "To mark the 20th edition, we have prepared a performance suitable for the winter season," adding, "We will continue to expand opportunities for local artists and increase citizens’ access to cultural experiences."

The November performance featured the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra, soprano Park Hana, violinist Lee Ji-hye, and trumpeter Dmitry Lokarenkov, delivering a classical music stage.
