Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will hold the “2025 Park Dae-seong School Ajaeng Sanjo” public performance at the Busan Folk Art Center, located in Dongnae-gu, to preserve and transmit the city's intangible cultural heritage in its original form.

This year’s performance will be held at Songyudang, the transmission education center for Busan’s intangible heritage, and will be organized by the Park Dae-seong School Ajaeng Sanjo Preservation Society.

To promote the succession and development of intangible cultural heritage, the city provides support for public performances of all designated intangible cultural heritage items each year. This event will feature both titleholders and trainees on stage together, offering citizens a meaningful opportunity to experience the beauty and charm of the Park Dae-seong School Ajaeng Sanjo, which has been passed down in Busan.

Designated as Busan’s intangible cultural heritage in 2009, the Park Dae-seong School Ajaeng Sanjo is a Sanjo style characterized by the distinctive, rich, and deep sound of the ajaeng, along with delicate and graceful melodies. The Park Dae-seong School Ajaeng Sanjo Preservation Society, which is organizing this event, continues to transmit the original form of this heritage.

This performance is open to the public free of charge. For more information, please contact the Park Dae-seong School Ajaeng Sanjo Preservation Society at 010-5438-7600.

Jo Yu-jang, Director of the Culture Bureau of Busan Metropolitan City, stated, “This public event will be a valuable opportunity to reflect on the value of local cultural heritage and to enjoy traditional arts with citizens,” adding, “We will continue to provide support and make efforts to protect and transmit intangible cultural heritage.”
