Seats are standing-room only and available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 3 PM on the day of the event, with entry beginning at 5 PM. The performances will be live-streamed on the YouTube channels ‘Gangnam-gu’ and ‘1TheK.’

Besides the performances, various event activities are prepared. At each concert, artists will draw winning numbers on stage to give away Polaroid photos signed by the artists, T-shirts, CDs, and more. During this period, the COEX ‘Blossom The Hope’ event will be held simultaneously, offering various exhibitions and food trucks.

Jo Seong-myeong, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, “As the center of K-pop, Gangnam-gu collaborates with the performing arts industry in the district to plan diverse concerts,” adding, “I hope many people create joyful memories at the concerts during May, the month of family.”
