Uiseong County has been running the "Youth Artists Live in Uiseong" program for six consecutive years since 2020. This year, four local young artists (Kim Hyunju, Noh Suhyeon, Park Jinyoung, Han Seunghoon) and six invited young artists from across the country (Kim Jiwon, Park Gyuhwan, Lee Hwayoung, Jang Hayoon, Jung Jinkyung, Ha Junhyuk) have participated, continuing their creative activities with Uiseong as their backdrop.

Kim Jusu, the governor of Uiseong County, stated, "We will continue to provide unwavering support so that young artists can fully demonstrate their creative abilities in Uiseong and grow together with the region," and added, "We will do our best to create a youth-friendly environment in cooperation with the Youth Center."
