Approximately 1,300 citizens and tourists attended the event, marking the debut of a new cultural landmark in Geoje where culture and emotion come together.
"Ocean Harmony" is a coexistence project by Hanwha Ocean aimed at establishing a new performance culture in the Geoje area by presenting various genres of music with the sea as its backdrop. The first performance featured the renowned vocalist Kwill and the talented singer-songwriter Nabi, both of whom received an enthusiastic response from the audience.

The event venue featured a photo wall, photo kiosk, random draw, and digital tattoo activities, creating a festive atmosphere for families to enjoy together. Local specialties from Geoje and Geoje Love Gift Certificates were also given out, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.
A citizen from Gohyeon-dong, Geoje, who attended with her elementary school daughter after seeing information on a mom's online community, said, "My daughter was thrilled to win a big stuffed toy. It felt like Children's Day," and added, "She was really happy to hear songs by her favorite singer."
A Hanwha Ocean representative stated, "Ocean Harmony is more than just a performance; it is the first step toward communication and coexistence with the local community. We will continue our efforts to share inspiration with citizens through themed performances every month and to establish ourselves as a new source of vitality for local culture."
"Ocean Harmony" is scheduled to take place a total of seven times, on the fourth or fifth Saturday of each month until November, featuring performances that match the season and theme, including folk songs, jazz, and acoustic bands.
