When and where is the Nunabyeol Book Concert?

The Ulju Culture Foundation holds the 'Nunabyeol Book Concert' on October 17 at 3 p.m. at the outdoor plaza of the Oh Yeong-su Literary Museum in Eonyang-eup, Ulju County, Ulsan. The event is free to attend for residents and visitors, according to the foundation's announcement.

What is the program?

The concert opens with a pre-show performance by the Lamu Boys and Girls Choir, made up of children from Ulju County. The main program then moves through three acts. Kim Hyo-yi, a poetry reciter, performs works by Oh Yeong-su. Nam Mi-kyung and the Mirinae band follow with poems sung to acoustic guitar. The Yang Ha-young band closes the show with folk songs, including her well-known track 'Gaetbawi' (rock on the tidal flats).

Who is Oh Yeong-su?

Oh Yeong-su is a writer regarded as a literary figure representing Ulju County. The concert is designed to share his literary spirit with local people, especially those who find literature difficult to approach. The program mixes performances with hands-on activities so that families can take part together.

Is there an award ceremony?

Yes. Prizes are presented for the 'Youth Imagination Contest', which was held at the Oh Yeong-su Literary Museum on September 20. Young participants who expressed their own ideas through literature and imagination are recognized at the event.

For international fans

The event is a local community festival rather than a major touring concert, so it is mainly aimed at residents of Ulsan. Visitors interested in Korean literature can combine it with a trip to the museum, which is located in Eonyang-eup, a short distance from central Ulsan. Check the museum or the Ulju Culture Foundation for transport details and any changes to the schedule.
