This event, organized by Songpa-gu and hosted by the Songpa Cultural Foundation, will be held in two parts. The first part features a flamenco stage, Spain's representative performing art. Flamenco is an integrated art form combining dance, song, and musical performance, and was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.

The show will open with performances by "Olé Flamenco Korea," led by Sofia Yoon (Yoon Seon-a), which combines Korean traditional dance and flamenco, and the "Fuego Dance Company." Dancers from eight countries—including Spain, Taiwan, and Egypt—will present around nine pieces. The second part will feature a performance by the crossover group Forestella.

Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through Naver Reservation starting at 11 am on August 11th. When collecting tickets, residents will undergo an identity verification process requiring a photo ID with proof of residency in Songpa-gu. Further details are available on the Songpa Cultural Foundation's website and blog, or by contacting the culture project team at 070-7770-3268.

Mayor Seo Kangseok stated, "This performance has been prepared to deliver passion and moving inspiration to our residents who are exhausted from the sweltering summer heat. I hope you create unforgettable summer memories while enjoying culture and arts with your family and neighbors at Lotte Concert Hall."
