Hwaseong Special City's Dongtan-gu Hosts First Regional Concert 'REWIND Dance Night!' to Great Acclaim
The regional concert 'REWIND Dance Night!' held by Dongtan-gu of Hwaseong Special City on the 22nd at Dongtan Yeoul Park's soccer field concluded successfully amid enthusiastic response from citizens.
This concert was the first regional concert held since the launch of the four-district system in February of this year, and was designed to allow citizens to enjoy cultural performances in their daily lives while bringing together diverse generations in harmony.
The event, which ran for 120 minutes starting at 7 p.m., filled the 3,000-seat auditorium as well as standing areas with citizens, heating up the venue, and became a meaningful time for families, friends, and neighbors to gather in one place to share empathy and communication between generations through music. Dongtan Yeoul Park was filled with laughter and cheers from citizens of various age groups.
The performance opened refreshingly with the clear and hopeful harmonies of the in-house children's choir 'Singing Angels.' Popular artists Cleo and Kim Hyun-jung followed with an exciting performance of familiar hits, and when Lee Jae-hoon (COOL) belted out his signature songs, the audience erupted in unison with cheers. Citizens sang along with the music and enjoyed the moment of a summer night festival.
Hwaseong Special City Mayor Jung Myung-geun said, "It is all the more meaningful that many citizens joined us for the first regional concert held in Dongtan-gu since the launch of the four-district system," and added, "Seeing citizens across generations enjoying music together and communicating in vibrant and energetic Dongtan, I was able to feel once again the bright future and potential of Dongtan."
He continued, "We will further expand opportunities for citizens to enjoy high-quality performances and culture in their daily lives so they feel 'I'm glad I live in Dongtan,' and we will prepare various cultural events that showcase Dongtan's unique vitality and characteristics."
Dongtan-gu Office Chief Hwang Guk-hwan said, "I thank all citizens for creating a special summer night together," and added, "Going forward, we will listen to the voices of residents and create a cultural space where people of all ages and genders can come together harmoniously."
