On the evening of the 19th, when a gentle spring rain was falling, the lawn square of Misa Lake Park was filled with citizens holding umbrellas. Despite the inclement weather, many people remained at the venue as the open performance of '2025 Stage Hanam! Busking', hosted by Hanam City and the Hanam Cultural Foundation, took place in a lively atmosphere.

The open performance of '2025 Stage Hanam! Busking', organized by Hanam City and the Hanam Cultural Foundation, was met with enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience, even in the rain, once again demonstrating the citizens' passion for culture.

This event once again proved the local community's interest in and enthusiasm for culture, as countless citizens stayed despite the bad weather. In particular, it drew attention for realizing a public-private cooperation model based on the voluntary participation of residents.

With the event's future uncertain due to a reduction in the cultural budget, the residents' councils of Misa 1, 2, and 3-dong took the initiative. Through an agreement signed on the 7th, the residents' councils played a practical hosting role by supporting event staff, promoting the event among residents, and sharing part of the project expenses.

At 6:30 p.m., the performance opened with a lively brass performance by the brass band 'Boombeat'. This was followed by the 'Hanami and Bangwooli Character Lighting Ceremony', where a warm atmosphere was created as the sculptures were illuminated to sweet music. The lighting ceremony was broadcast live on a large screen, and the exhibition will continue until the end of November.

The kids' musical gala show by Little Musical Star offered fairy tale-like moments for children and family audiences. The emotional vocal group VOS added romance to the rainy evening with hit songs such as 'On Days I Miss You' and 'It's a Big Deal'. The youth dance team RAWKIDZ energized the audience with a passionate performance, and the K-pop girl group H1-KEY closed the show by performing a series of popular songs including 'Rose Blossom', creating a sense of unity with the audience.

The event not only enriched the cultural life of citizens but also revitalized the local commercial district. As citizens visited the park for the performance, nearby cafes, restaurants, and shops bustled with activity, and even on a rainy day, this natural increase in consumption had a positive effect on the local economy.

Lee Hyunjae, Mayor of Hanam, stated, "Stage Hanam! Busking is a cultural festival created and enjoyed directly by citizens, and a representative event that coexists with the local commercial district. We will continue to present diverse and inspiring performances throughout Hanam, integrating culture into everyday life."
