"Wirye BusKing!" is a program designed to discover talented young artist groups from the Seongnam area by providing them with opportunities to perform, and to allow citizens to enjoy culture and the arts close to home as part of their everyday lives.

This year, the event period has been extended to two months, from September through October, featuring a total of 12 performances. The lineup will encompass a variety of genres, including popular music, jazz, fusion Korean traditional music, contemporary circus, and street dance.

For each session, one or two teams will perform. Going beyond a simple stage-viewing format, the event will be an interactive performance where audiences and artists communicate and create the show together at close range.

The performances will take place every Friday and Saturday at 5:30 p.m. from September 4 to October 31 at the Wirye Story Box outdoor stage. Admission is free and open to all citizens.

Jungkook Yoon, CEO of the Seongnam Cultural Foundation, commented, "We hope citizens will naturally encounter culture and the arts in their daily lives and experience the joy of creating performances together with artists. We will continue to develop various programs so that Seongnam can become a warm cultural city where culture is accessible to everyone."
