Every May, a golf course on the northern outskirts of Seoul brings an annual K-pop charity concert to its estate spanning some 3.3 million square-meters.
This year’s event will be held on May 30 at the Sewon Valley golf course in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, with the largest-ever lineup in the concert’s 14-year history, organizers said Friday.
It includes popular K-pop idol groups such as EXID, Girls’ Day, BTS and BTOB. Also among the performers are Boys Republic, Lady T, History, 1PUNCH, Jung Dong-ha, Seo In-young and Huh Gak, as well as older stars beloved by the middle-aged generation such as Yurisangja (Glass Box), Park Hak-gi, Kwon In-ha and Namgung Ok-bun.
Launched in 2000, the Seowon Valley Charity Green Concert co-hosted by Daebo Group and the Seowon Valley Country Club, has built its reputation as the country’s first eco-friendly concert taking place at a golf course. More than 250,000 people, including K-pop fans from China, Taiwan, Japan and the United States, have since attended the concerts.
For the event, part of the golf course’s fairways will be used as a parking lot. Admission is free and visitors are required to wear sneakers for entry. (Yonhap)
