BNK Financial Group, 'Play on Busan' KNN Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra Invitational Concert.

'Play on Busan' is BNK Financial Group's flagship cultural program, which offers a variety of artistic content to local residents free of charge. Every month, the program presents a wide range of genres, including classical music, Korean traditional music, comedy, lectures, and films.

This concert will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Ocean Hall on the second floor of the Busan Bank headquarters. The KNN Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra, a leading local arts organization, will perform together with violinist Kim Hyejeong, presenting all movements of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons."

In particular, the event will be even more meaningful as Seo Heetae, the artistic director and principal conductor of the KNN Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra, will both conduct and provide commentary, offering a "Talk Classic" format that allows even classical music beginners to easily relate to the performance.

Participation applications can be submitted via Busan Bank mobile banking until June 19, with attendees able to choose between reserved and non-reserved seating. However, for efficient event management, after 6:50 p.m. (10 minutes before the event starts), seating will be guided without distinction between reserved and non-reserved seats.

Bin Daein, Chairman of BNK Financial Group, stated, "I hope citizens can find peace of mind amid their busy daily lives through the beautiful melodies of the orchestra's classical music," and added, "We will continue to promote a variety of cultural projects to vitalize local culture."

The 'Play on Busan' performance held in May was a main program of the 'Ai Sarang Festival,' organized for Family Month. The event featured a lively stage by the KBS Gag Concert Team, which received an enthusiastic response from about 400 children and their families in the audience.
