Naju-si Successfully Hosts 'Disabled Persons Love Sharing Concert'

Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Yoon Byung-tae) announced on the 20th that the '2024 Disabled Love Sharing Concert' was successfully concluded recently at the Naju Culture and Arts Center.

The city has been hosting the Disabled Love Sharing Concert since 2018 to provide cultural experience opportunities to people with disabilities and their family members who usually have fewer chances to attend performances, and to improve the awareness of disabilities among non-disabled people.

Organized by the Naju Branch of the Korea Disabled Persons Association, this event was attended by about 500 people including people with disabilities, their families, and volunteers. The stage was enlivened by Lee Jae-sung, a balladeer representing 1980s folk music, Namgung Ok-bun, the acoustic guitar diva, and Jeon Ki-ho, known as the Little Lim Young-woong from Naju, receiving great applause.

Mr. Kim, who participated in the concert, expressed his gratitude, saying, "I was very happy to hear the songs of singer Lee Jae-sung, whom I have been a fan of. I thank Naju City for allowing me to recall past memories."

Mayor Yoon Byung-tae said, "I am honored to hold a joyful cultural event with families of people with disabilities again this year," and added, "We will continue to strive to create a community where people with and without disabilities understand each other and live together."
