In particular, ‘Dodam Ensemble,’ the country’s top performance team consisting of violin, cello, flute, and clarinet, performed about 10 pieces consecutively, starting with their own arrangement of Yeosu Night Sea, followed by popular movie theme songs loved by the public.

A tourist who watched the performance said, “I was disappointed that I couldn’t see the concert held in Busan, but I didn’t expect to see it in Yeosu,” and added, “The harmony of Yeosu Night Sea, candlelight, and classical melodies created a lingering impression that made it impossible to leave my seat. It was a beautiful and moving stage.”

An official from the city said, “A night ‘Marching Parade’ is scheduled for August,” and “We ask for the interest and support of Yeosu citizens and tourists.”

Meanwhile, Yeosu City was finally selected in January this year for the ‘Night Tourism Specialized City Development Project’ contest hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and plans to continuously provide differentiated night tourism content at locations such as Gukdong Port Waterfront Park, Namsan Park, and Jangdo Island, the Island of Arts.
