Busan is good

July with a Singer-Songwriter from the Old Downtown… Regular Performance to Be Held at the Annex of the Busan Modern and Contemporary History Museum

내용

The Busan Modern and Contemporary History Museum (hereinafter referred to as "the Museum") announced that it will host a regular performance on Saturday, July 26 at 4:00 PM at its Annex, a multipurpose cultural venue.

○ Since its opening in March 2023, the Museum has been holding regular performances on the fourth Saturday of each month, providing citizens in the old downtown area of Busan—where performance spaces are limited—with diverse live content across various genres.

○ The July performance, themed “The Sound of the Sea”, will feature music in the folk genre, performed by singer-songwriter Yoon Do-kyung, a self-producing artist based in Busan’s old downtown.

○ Since his debut in 2014, Yoon has steadily built his presence as a local singer-songwriter, releasing full-length albums such as
  ‧ Wonder Fool Life (2019)
  ‧ Mudflat (2021)
  ‧ Jangle Jangle (2024)

○ In this performance, Yoon will share music inspired by his experiences growing up in Busan’s old downtown, as well as his studies in social welfare and the concerns he has faced as someone born in the 1980s.

○ For Yoon—who was born and raised in Yeongdo District—Busan’s old downtown served as the cradle of his musical journey. Songs like In Love, which captures memories of Daechung-ro, where the museum is located, and The Time of Blue Salt, which was inspired by the stories of a shipyard worker in Yeongdo, exemplify this connection.

○ Yoon majored in social welfare at university and previously worked at Busan Hana Center, a support organization for North Korean defectors. His song Adaptation reflects not only the stories of defectors but also his own experience juggling job hunting and employment while pursuing his passion for music.

○ In addition to the songs mentioned above, Yoon will present a setlist of original and cover songs, including new works that evoke imagery of the sea in Yeongdo.

Anyone interested in the event may participate for free by pre-registering through the Museum’s website (busan.go.kr/mmch) starting June 25, on a first-come, first-served basis.

○ For more information about the event, please contact the Museum at ☎ 051-607-8034.

Kim Ki-yong, Director of the Busan Modern and Contemporary History Museum, stated:
"We hope this will be a time to explore the emotions and everyday experiences of Busan’s old downtown through the music of a young artist."
