The launch ceremony included an introduction to the theater's projects and an overview of the press corps' activity plans. There was also a presentation of the main planned programs for 2026, along with practical training sessions aimed at strengthening content production capabilities. The training focused on content creation centered on promotional marketing, blog planning, and field reporting know-how.

Kang Yangwon, Director of the Arts Theater, stated, "I hope the policy press corps will deliver performances and planned programs with a fresh perspective and a sense of presence, serving as a bridge between the theater and the arts scene."

The 15th ARKO Performance Rider will be active for about six months until July, covering and producing a variety of performance news to share with citizens and audiences. The Arts Theater comprehensively evaluated candidates' writing and content creation skills, ultimately selecting a total of eight press corps members.

Since its inception in 2018, the ARKO Performance Rider is now in its 15th year, with aspiring talents interested in arts management continuously participating to present field-oriented arts and culture content.
