now it's time for our life an info segment where we take a look at useful
information for your daily life today we're going to talk about some summer
music festivals in Korea for more we have our yoon jong min in the studio a
jolly and good morning and let's first say that most people anyway love a good
festival so you're here to introduce us to some upcoming ones here in South
Korea so give us the goods on that and also for first-timers who might be
wondering how to go about enjoying the festival experience do you have any tips
for them well sure mark well summer is definitely
the right time for festivities and in fact there are dozens of music festivals
rock festivals are taking place across the country during July and August
ranging from rock electronic music to chess well among
those is Incheon Penta for rock festival of 2019 world the biggest rock festivals
in South Korea well it kicks off on August 9th and lasts for three days well
it it will be held at the song Doha moonlight Festival Park in Incheon
you'll get to see more than 40 rock groups including YP cry nut and solo
singers like Chung mong-joon and Kim Jong Sol from Friday to Sunday you can
watch different artists lineups so make sure to check the homepage so you don't
miss a chance to see your favorite artists you can buy one day to day or
three day tickets the one day ticket costs around 68 US dollars or 80,000
Korean Won it's about 170 dollars or 200,000 Korean Won for 3 days earlier
there was a discount for early bird ticket buyers to give you another tip
well it's free for for children under 13 years of age and those above 65 it takes
about an hour and 40 minutes by car to get to the moonlight park in incheon
from seoul station you can also take subway like line number one and get off
at the international business district station which is just a kilometer away
from the park there are shuttle buses running to and
from the site for more check the web yes you can also check the website for
the full lineup of artists it isn't all Korean artists there are a number of
international artists performing as well and I must say that the Penta port rock
festival has grown over the years and it's very convenient for those of us
living in Seoul because like you like you say you can just drive there
relatively easily but taking the subway is much more convenient cheaper and it's
very close to where the actual venue as well okay well we know about the details
of that then some more music festivals because you have a number of them
prepared to explain to us today oh yes so this weekend took Busan International
rock festival kicks off celebrating its 20th anniversary
well it's held in the country southern city of Busan at the Sanwa ecological
park 28 artists are going to rock the stage including g.od Nell and other
excellent bands tickets cost around fifty six dollars
for a single day but it's seventy-five dollars if you choose to attend for two
days during the festival people can camp there on the festival on the website you
can find lists of restaurants and accommodation where you can get
discounts if you have a ticket for the festival also you'll find a schedule for
for the shuttle buses you can get to Pusan by high-speed trains KT eggs and
SRT or take a short flight well in fact the ecological park is only a few
kilometers away from plutons Kim Hye International Airport okay so it's good
to see that rock festivals are not just spaced around the Seoul area but they're
spreading out all across Korea now since we're talking about music festivals we
must mention the jisan Music Festival rock festival really one of the most
famous festivals in South Korea but we had some bad breaking news the other day
because it was abruptly called off cancelled at the last minute essentially
can you explain what actually happened because this cancellation came like
three or four days before the festival was supposed to start well you're right
a cheat on rock festival 2019 was cancelled out of the blue just before
the festival while the organizers cited some management issues and financial
difficulties they said they're going to refund all the tickets and compensate
penalties for a canceling accommodation but for sure it was disappointing for
many fans yeah it must have been gutting for those eagerly anticipating going to
see that festival only for the plug to be pulled at the very last moment but
let's hope they get up and running again next year find some funds sort out their
management issues and everyone can go and enjoy that again any other festivals
for us well I like to tell you about new music festivals that are taking place
this year okay which are the pom tongue apiece Music Festival and Kangwon rock
festival so these two festivals first time ever being held this year yes just
this year for 2019 okay so the first one is held in the country's eastern town of
Pompeii and the other one in India come on the province the festivals will be
held for the first time but a number of celebrities are taking part in those
festivals with various events as for the County Music Festival the organisers
offer discounts if people shall receive they use in the pom town area to boost
to boost the local economy the cow and rock festival offers discounts for
locals teenagers the elderly and more wonderful so very useful information for
those who perhaps have a weekend spare and want to check out some great music
with their friends perhaps do some camping have a couple of drinks and
enjoy the general atmosphere and excitement jongmin thank you very much
for bringing that information to us today and enjoy your weekend thank you
